CLUSTER AND ITS FORMS IN SERBIA
CLUSTER AND ITS FORMS IN SERBIA

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is to present the general concept of the institute of cluster, as well as its manifestations, to re-examine its past development and current situation, to predict its development and evaluate its practical importance. Clusters are sets of business entities or forms of business association. This institute arose from economic literature and doctrinal appearances in the last decade of the twentieth century. By joining forces, business entities in the institutional form of clusters aim to ensure - through lasting interactions - their competitiveness in the market, thus enabling them to optimize profits. There are several types of clusters, depending on the criteria of differentiation, and these are mainly in the differences between conditional legal form of entities, relationships between the partners in the cluster, activities they engage in, etc. The existence of various types of clusters indicates that they are based on ‘‘systemic connections’’ between subjects.
