Abstract: There is much evidence of clusters throughout academic literature with examples highlighted from around the world. While many of these examples offer an insight into cluster success, there is relatively much less attention given to the factors which drive the development and existence of these clusters.
This paper will examine cluster drivers reported as part of the cluster literature as well as examining cluster drivers identified within the Australian Aerospace Cluster. The findings of this research outline that existing cluster literature offers a somewhat static view of cluster drivers which does not adequately capture the impact of complex inter-relationships which exist between cluster drivers.
