'Pacific Corridor' Scoping Study

Save this item to your favourites
Professor Roy Green, Dean and Professor in Management, Macquarie Graduate School of Management, Kate Hughes, PhD Student, Macquarie Graduate School of Management

What drives successful industry clustering in Australia, and specifically the northern Sydney region?  This project conducted by Macquarie Graduate School of Management, and jointly sponsored by the Australian Business Foundation and the NSW Department of State and Regional Development will aim to identify and map clustering activity in the northern Sydney region, known for this report as the 'Pacific Corridor'. 

Overview & Comments

The 'Pacific Corridor', spanning northwest from North Sydney, takes in large commercial centres such as Chatswood and Macquarie Park and is home to many regional headquarters for large multinational companies.  It has been identified by the NSW Government as an economic region of state, national and international significance.    

By identifying industry sectors that may be engaged in clustering activities and gaps in linkages, further studies can be conducted on firm interactions, supply chains and networks to better understand what makes a successful cluster work.
