Cortright argues that the great empirical challenge is “… to use statistical tools and techniques more creatively to help describe the workings of individual clusters, to marry data to the case study and storytelling approach, rather than to attempt to uncover universal relationships across a disparate set of industries” (Cortright, 2006, p. 51).
