These state and regionally based initiatives have a broad range of goals and increasingly include larger resources commitments, often with a sectoral focus and often in partnership with foundations and universities. Recent studies, however, have pointed out that many of these efforts lack the scale and the steady commitment needed for success. This has prompted new initiatives to coordinate and concentrate investments from a variety of federal agencies to develop research parks, business incubators, and other strategies to encourage entrepreneurships and high-tech development in the nation's regions. Understanding the nature of innovation clusters and public policies associated with successful cluster development is therefore of current relevance. Clustering for 21st Century Prosperity identifies best practices with regard to goals, structures, instruments, modes of operation, synergies across private and public programs, funding mechanisms and levels, and evaluation efforts. The committee, under the Board on Science, Technology, and Economic Policy (STEP) is reviewing selected state and regional efforts to capitalize on federal and state investments in areas of critical national needs. This review includes both efforts to strengthen existing industries as well as specific technology focus areas such as nanotechnology, stem cells, and advanced energy in order to better understand program goals, challenges, and accomplishments."--Publisher's description. 000720998 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000720998 650_0 $$aInformation technology$$xEconomic aspects$$zUnited States. 000720998 650_0 $$aTechnological innovations$$xEconomic aspects$$zUnited States. 000720998 650_0 $$aTechnology and state$$zUnited States. 000720998 650_0 $$aKnowledge management$$zUnited States. 000720998 650_0 $$aCompetition$$zUnited States. 000720998 655_0 $$aElectronic books 000720998 7001_ $$aWessner, Charles W.,$$econtributor. 000720998 7102_ $$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$$bBoard on Science, Technology, and Economic Policy,$$eissuing body. 000720998 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$$tClustering for 21st Century prosperity : summary of a symposium.$$dWashington, District of Columbia : National Academies Press, [2012]$$z9780309264136$$w(OCoLC)ocn811963296$$w(DLC)17583220 000720998 852__ $$bebk 000720998 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete $$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=3379251$$zOnline Access 000720998 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:720998$$pGLOBAL_SET 000720998 980__ $$aBIB 000720998 980__ $$aEBOOK 000720998 982__ $$aEbook 000720998 983__ $$aOnline
