Popis: Developing countries have realised the need to develop the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) sector to compete in an environment of increasing globalisation and also the emergence of the knowledge based economy. But given the limited resources, one approach seems to be popular among many countries is the ?cluster? based approach for industrial development This paper seeks to highlight one such effort viz. Malaysia?s Multimedia Super Corridor (MSC) Cluster with its Flagships approach. The MSC is presented in the paper as a physical manifestation of the NSI, to illustrate how a policy driven - cluster based regional development approach has helped to further national innovative performance and competitiveness.
