The National Competitiveness Council is distributing the Spanish version of the book "Clusters-Balancing Evolutionary and Constructive
Forces, published this year, free on their website. It is also available in English at www.cluster-research.org/redbook.htm (http://www.cluster-research.org/redbook.htm).
The book was written by Orjan Solvell, professor of international business at the Stockholm School of Economics. Since 2005 he has also served as Director of the Center for Strategy and Competitiveness in Stockholm. The book can be downloaded in Spanish at http://competitividad.org.do/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/red-book-espanol.pdf
Since the mid-1980s Dr Solvell has worked closely with Professor Michael E Porter, studying international competitiveness and clusters in various nations and regions, and he is also a Senior Institute Associate at Professor Porter's Institute for Strategy and Competitiveness at Harvard Business School.
In 2001-2002 Solvell created a new course together with Professor Porter, "Microeconomics of Competitiveness: Firms, Clusters and Economic Development" (MOC), taught at HBS and some forty universities around the world.
The book helps understand the clusters concept as a model for productive and competitive growth.
