Energy clusters as ‘wicked’ and complex systems: insights from Dutch Energy Valley case study.

Presentation, Summer School 2013.

Research presentations to policy officials and academics.

What drivers of change and cluster dynamics, in particular for energy clusters, are significant to cluster development and what revision might be needed for cluster theory?

Business landscapes are changing at global, regional and sectoral levels as well as the social and ecological contexts. In order to understand what these changes are and how clusters are dealing with these, the research explores drivers of change and cluster dynamics using a Complex Adaptive Systems …

The research explores energy clusters and their adaptations to drivers of changes using a Complex Adaptive Systems (CAS) approach. CAS offers a descriptive analytical framework that helps generate insights into drivers of change and cluster developments. The pilot EnTranCE, a living lab cluster, in Energy …

Presentation of research findings to policy officials

Energy Valley cluster and internationalisation. There is a need for more dynamic approaches to strategy development for clusters due to the complex internal and external environments that are part of clusters. The research introduced complex adaptive systems (CAS) approach to cluster theory where contextual …
