The five partners/flagship model and the scottish electronics cluster

Abstract

The Scottish electronics cluster is dominated by U.S. and Japanese multinational enterprises (MNEs). To what extent have these MNEs developed local key supplier and other business network linkages? In this chapter this issue is explored using the Rugman and D'Cruz “five partners/flagship” model of international competitiveness.
