- Abstract:
- This project examined a rural regional cluster in terms of geographical setting rather than in terms of the common industry categorization. A website was created with products from Eastern Upper Peninsula manufacturing firms and numerous country-specific marketing campaigns were employed. The visitor data was recorded and then analyzed. The findings pointed towards an increased international audience for the EUP and showed initial support for the geographic cluster paradigm. The project also offered a framework as well as suggestions for future rural regional exporting initiatives.
