dc.description.abstract | This paper explores the natural synergies between industrial cluster formation and the identification
of realistic export opportunities (REOs), using the TRADE-DSM1 for a resource-dependent
region, the North West Province of South Africa. The structural path analysis and power of pull
methods were applied to a provincial social accounting matrix to identify the top industrial clusters.
Ten industrial clusters were identified and matched to the results of the TRADE-DSM. Six
of the industrial clusters analysed had REOs. These results provide a basis for focused export
market development and for the formalisation of the cluster initiative as a strategy for sustained
economic and export growth. | en_US |
