This paper will focus on giving entrepreneurs a more central role in this debate using the furniture cluster in Metro Cebu, the Philippines as a case in point. Entrepreneurs are the most privileged group in the cluster in terms of access to knowledge. Much of the scope for learning processes in clusters depends on their capacity and willingness to invest in upgrading their companies. This paper analyses how entrepreneurs decide which channels to use for knowledge absorption. This paper contributes to the understanding of how entrepreneurial competence shapes learning processes in a developing country context. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of International Development Planning Review is published by Liverpool University Press, and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without Liverpool University Press's express written copyright permission.
