ABSTRACT
This chapter includes a discussion and a detailed explanation of the theoretical, methodological, and practical contributions of this study. We reflect on the empirical results against the existing research on the determinants of cluster dynamics and upgrading. In particular, the chapter discusses how the original research framework and its major theoretical variables have been verified in this empirical study. Moreover, we explain the theoretical and methodological input and provide recommendations for business and policy practice. Limitations and future research directions conclude the chapter.
