This  article explores the challenges for the development of manufacturing through a case study of the foundry industry in Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality. Ekurhuleni Metro covers the largest concentration in South Africa, but the industry’s performance has been poor over the past decade.  The findings reported here highlight the need to understand firm decisions around investment, technology and skills, and the role of local economic linkages in this regard.  The differing performance of foundries strongly supports the need to develop concrete action plans and effective institutions at local level to support the development of local agglomerations.

Entrepreneurial Activities

Based on recognized importance of industrial clusters for the socio-economic development of regions, this work presents a case study involving the evolution, discussions on the role of entrepreneurial activities and the influence of public policies on the development of the furniture cluster of Ubá, Minas Gerais. The methodology adopted included a survey, interviews with strategic actors of the cluster, and analysis comparative data. Preliminary results indicate that public policies had limited involvement in the emergence and development of APL, and indicate the need to investigate the diversity of patterns of business components of local cluster order to propose appropriate policies for each different type of companies. The main conclusion is that the key role in the genesis and development of the furniture cluster of Ubá was the entrepreneurial action of the local businessmen.
