- Abstract
- This paper investigates cluster formation and the development processes of new thin file transistor liquid crystal display (TFT-LCD) clusters in East Asia. Despite the pivotal role of clusters in regional development and national competitiveness, there are only a few studies on how new East Asian high-tech clusters have emerged and evolved and how these clusters are similar to and different from other clusters. Based on a comparative analysis of new TFT-LCD clusters between Samsung in Asan-Tangjung, South Korea, and Chimei in Tainan, Taiwan, we examine dynamic development processes and investigate how these rural areas have changed into high-tech clusters in only a decade's time. Specifically, this paper explores the preconditions and initiation characteristics of TFT-LCD clusters. It also compares some similarities and differences between two East Asian TFT-LCD clusters and investigates the uniqueness of other global clusters. Therefore, this paper enhances our understanding of the dynamics of industrial clusters, adds a comparative perspective on cluster analysis, and suggests policy implications from the case study of cluster formation in South Korea and Taiwan.
