This book analyses how SME clusters emerge in a developing economy. Using India as a case study, it addresses one central question: If growth has largely failed to be inclusive so far, and if employing work force in increasing returns activities through a different trajectory of industrialization largely dependent upon industrial clusters of SMEs is believed to be true, then what are the structural infirmities and asymmetries that need to be taken into account in the context of framing policies related to industrial clusters? The book identifies the structural infirmities in industrial clusters in India, which could be typical to any of the developing countries and sharply in contrast to European success stories. Blending theory and empirical material, it provides a middle ground between the two extremes of a uniform policy assuming 'one size fits all' and a specific policy based on individual cases. The book redraws the broad contours where space and production processes mutually constitute each other in a typical way giving rise to outcomes something generic to underdevelopment. It is of interest to academics working in the fields of economics, business administration/management and development economics. 410 0$aRoutledge Studies in the Growth Economies of Asia 606 $aSmall business$zIndia 606 $aIndustrial clusters$zIndia 615 0$aSmall business 615 0$aIndustrial clusters 676 $a338.6/420954 686 $aBUS068000$2bisacsh 700 $aRoy$b Satyaki.$01541043 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910786276503321 996 $aSmall and medium scale enterprises in India$93792983 997 $aUNINA
