Networking and clustering are potentially important in Wales, both in their own right and through enhancing competitiveness, which is increasingly significant in the context of globalisation and the emphasis on innovation and flexibility. UK Regional Development Agencies already place importance on cluster/sector promotion policies (see WERU, 2002). Such policy intervention is seen as necessary to ameliorate market failure in the transmission of qualitative information required for network development and interaction. More information is needed, however, on core competencies, trade prospects and potential risks faced by existing businesses in Wales. The work described here builds on research by Roberts and Stimson (1998), WERU (2002) and DTI (2001), to create a more comprehensive evaluation framework using available statistical data on the economy as a whole, complemented by in-depth cluster-based analysis. As a result of an exhaustive review of the literature (see also David et al, 2005) it has been possible to identify multiple elements to clusters and networks. Clusters show variations in their structures in terms of degrees of formality, their horizontal and vertical attributes and types and whether the benefits derived from clustering are transactional, relational or flow from agglomeration. Clusters also vary in terms of the processes which drive them. Six process elements complete
