New Blueprint for Overhaul of Libyan Economy
By William Wallis
A US management guru and free market economist will on Thursday present Libya with a blueprint for its integration into the world economy. Not very long ago, it would have seemed inconceivable that Col Muammer Gadaffi would invite a former adviser to Ronald Reagan to help devise a reform strategy for the north African nation. But in Tripoli on Thursday, possibly in the presence of the colonel, Professor Michael Porter, the Harvard Business School economist, will present a 200-page document.

Health-Care Fixes Should Focus on Quality
by Alan Murray
Among business-school professors, Harvard's Michael Porter is a category killer. So when he decided to spend several years studying the problems of the U.S. health-care industry, people took notice. The result is a book called "Redefining Health Care," co-written with Elizabeth Olmsted Teisberg, a professor at the University of Virginia.

Red Herring

January 30, 2006

The Valley: Innovation Envy
Governments everywhere are trying to get Silicon Valley clusters going. Will their efforts pay off?

Conventional wisdom about industry clusters suggests that if a cluster already exists in a given area of innovation, like software or biotechnology, attempts to form a similar cluster in another area will probably fail because talent and capital tends to flow to the established one. By that logic, efforts to form, say, a biotechnology cluster outside of San Diego, Boston, and North Carolina’s Research Triangle Park would be doomed from the outset.

But a Harvard Business School study challenges that view. Christian Ketels, principal associate at Harvard’s Institute for Strategy and Competitiveness, oversees some of the work led by Professor Michael Porter’s Cluster Mapping Project. From Stockholm, Mr. Ketels tells Red Herring that the conventional wisdom is plain wrong. Clusters, the jobs they create, and the prosperity of surrounding communities are far from static.

Harvard professor suggests industry clusters, economic strategy
Oregon's 40 clusters are less developed, and less concentrated, he says
By Ted Sickinger

While most speakers talked about education, Porter, appearing via teleconference, dug deep into the Oregon Business Plan to offer crucial feedback on efforts to organize the state's economic development efforts around "industry clusters."
