In today's uncertain environment, companies should develop solutions to meet the global competition trends and the rapidly changing customer demands. In fact, to gain a competitive advantage, organizations should be equipped with knowledge, which is considered as an essential resource, rather than with traditional resources, such as durable assets or material/technical resources. In other words, investing in intangible assets that are difficult to imitate, such as social capital, promotes dissemination and exchange of accessible knowledge used by organizations. Such knowledge management processes enable firms to enhance their capacity of innovation as well as their creativity skills. The objective is therefore to develop a literature review that helps enrich and in-depth understanding the dynamics of social capital within an industrial cluster (i.e., a common geographical area).

<p>Industrial cluster concept has become a policy reference for regional economic development in various countries. Industrial clusters are defined as the geographic proximity of firms that are interconnected with each other with related institutions in a particular field, linked by commonalities and complementarities. Reflecting on the success of several developed and developing countries successfully developing industrial clusters, the Government of Indonesia sets an industry cluster approach to enhance competitiveness and accelerate economic development as set forth in Peta Panduan Pengembangan Klaster Industri Prioritas Tahun 2010-2014. Nevertheless, industrial cluster concept is a multidimensional and complex. In many discussions, industrial cluster concepts assessed without regard to the scientific components contained therein, leading to the failure of implementation this concept. Empirically, in Indonesia, the industry is dominated by SMEs naturally agglomerate, while theoretically, industrial agglomeration is an embryo of an industrial cluster. Therefore, researcher is interested to identify the potential clusters of the case of wooden furniture industry in Subosukawonosraten based on the spatial distribution of the industry. The method in this study using case study method which consist<em> Average Nearest Neighbor</em> analysis to identify industrial agglomeration and continued with descriptive qualitative analysis techniques. Industrial agglomeration through several phase to be ideal industrial cluster. There are four agglomeration of wooden furniture industry which potentially develop into cluster in Subosukawonosraten. Agglomeration of wooden furniture industry in Sragen, Boyolali, and Karanganyar is the most potential to develop into cluster compared to others. That is industrial agglomeration which is in phase closest to ideal industrial cluster seen based on agglomeration size, type of actor, collaboration between actors, and market area.</p>

Despite an improvement in sailing conditions, the potential of Polish small seaports is not fully used. The limitations in the supply of sailing services, resulting from fragmentation and the reluctance of local tourism enterprises to cooperate are one of the main causes of such situation. The article uses methods of literature review, comparative analysis, and in-depth interview. A maritime cluster in Barcelona, whose creation ensured additional benefits for tourism enterprises, was selected for comparison. The condition for the success of the initiative was the involvement of public authorities in the organization and operation of the cluster. The increase in attractiveness of the Polish tourism sector should be sought in expanding the scope and quality of provided services. The first of the mentioned goals will require establishing close cooperation between tourist enterprises, while the latter entails competitive struggle. The cluster concept creates the possibility of simultaneous cooperation and competition. Creating a sailing cluster shall require support from public authorities.

The purpose of this paper is to contribute to the management and benchmarking methodology at the small and medium enterprise level jointed to industrial cluster. As emerged from this literature review, there has been almost nothing done in this context, however, the currency of benchmarking models for individual SMEs needs an innovative transformation to adhere to the dynamics of the business environment. As well, it has observed that benchmarking methodologies should focus on analyzing forward looking, predictive and future performance comparisons rather than static ones. This study finds that entering into cooperative relations with other SMEs and related partner institutions, SMEs will overcome their size limitations as well as improving their productivity, innovativeness and overall. Hence to compete successfully in the domestic and global markets, SMEs need an appropriate benchmarking model suitable for their new improved environment within clusters.

And Training

Computerized auditory training (CAT) is a convenient, low-cost approach to improving communication of individuals with hearing loss or other communicative disorders. A number of CAT programs are being marketed to patients and audiologists. The present literature review is an examination of evidence for the effectiveness of CAT in improving speech perception in adults with hearing impairments. Six current CAT programs, used in 9 published studies, were reviewed. In all 9 studies, some benefit of CAT for speech perception was demonstrated. Although these results are encouraging, the overall quality of available evidence remains low, and many programs currently on the market have not yet been evaluated. Thus, caution is needed when selecting CAT programs for specific patients. It is hoped that future researchers will (a) examine a greater number of CAT programs using more rigorous experimental designs, (b) determine which program features and training regimens are most effective, and (c) indicate which patients may benefit from CAT the most.
