This planned symposium will address the importance for implementing new business strategies in the globalized world and seeking a more significant and effective involvement in the international market. The forces of globalization along with the new technological advances and infrastructure related development are making it necessary for companies and countries to broaden their linkage to other business structures as well as to other companies or countries in an attempt to improve their competitive advantages and global proficiency.

The symposium will host invited scholarly presentations. Scholars from a number of different countries will present their theoretical and empirical findings on the impact of implementation and promotion of regional clusters on economic developments around the world.
