Cluster Institutional Isomorphic Pressures: A case of Tirupur knitwear cluster

Abstract

There is a growing interest on study of industrial clusters in the institutional perspective. Each industrial cluster is unique, need to analyse the role of institutions in the formation, growth, and in sustaining the competitiveness of the cluster is felt. This paper explores one of the popular industrial clusters and analyses how the institutions in the cluster develop a force of homogeneity. For understanding the forces of the cluster, first the evolution of the cluster in the organisational and institutional perspective is explained by the support of various literatures. Then the relevant phenomenon is identified in the cluster activities and is associated to the cluster institutional isomorphic forces. This paper will create an understanding of the role of institutions in the cluster and help the various stakeholders to design strategies for the growth and competitiveness of the cluster.
