ABSTRACT
Maritime cluster is a
well-established and productively researched theme by maritime policy and
economics scholars. Maritime cluster’s
evolution is an under-investigated area, with ramifications in maritime policy
and business decision-making. In this paper, we study the evolutionary formation of
maritime clusters, in the contemporary European blue economy context. We
examine pertinent factors for the sustainable development of maritime clusters,
with a strong technical, service and market innovation orientation. We merely
examine the significance of legislative, financial, business networking and
knowledge management related components. Qualitative empirical testing of the
theoretical premises is performed for the Spanish, Italian, Greek and Cypriot
cluster entities.
KEYWORDS
