| Abstract | This paper is an effort to address some of the main considerations pertaining to foreign firm activity in clusters and the use of Porter’s clusters in geographic research. Three methodological questions related to the behavior of firms in and outside of Porter’s clusters are explored based on results generated from a survey of Korean subsidiaries in the US. Results indicate that firms within and outside of clusters do exhibit differences vis-à-vis their levels of autonomy from their HQ firms. No differences were found across firms located outside of clusters. Subsidiaries in clusters report much lower levels of autonomy in planning and inventory control, and higher levels of autonomy for information sharing and cost control. The hiring practices of subsidiaries in the US suggest that Korean firms are concentrating on hiring qualified managers from US competitors and US firms with which they had a previous relationship. In stark contrast to hiring practices in Korea, subsidiaries are not hiring significant numbers of managers with advanced degrees from universities or from the government. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
