Cooke. There is a fundamental agreement in the area of the categories of units creating the network interaction within the framework of clusters.

Particularly important in this context from the point of view of the success of cluster initiatives is the active role of institutions of animators, who stimulate the process of interaction in the network (Institutions for Collaboration5).
The afore-mentioned projects were aimed at diagnosing the existing state in the area of cluster initiatives, as well as working out the guiding principles in the area of formulating and initiating innovative policies based on networks. 40 On the basis of the afore-mentioned documents it is possible to indicate the experience of particular countries in the area of initiating policies based on clusters. The results of research facilitate the creation of the basic recommendations for the practical formulation and initiation of the policies of regional development based on the concept of clusters.

A wide range of research methodology is at our disposal, starting from quantitative research, to the study of individual cases and finishing with the detailed qualitative research and analysis of the network.
