Abstract

In this paper, the authors argue that a solid Cluster Reputation can assist in the internationalization process of cluster firms, especially when these firms are small, medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), which face a number of obstacles in their internationalization. Two ways by which cluster reputation can assist in the internationalization of SMEs are identified, and the paper concludes with a discussion of the importance of viewing cluster reputation as a 'public good' from which cluster firms can draw.
