<br/><br/> This paper endeavours to develop a framework for measuring the productivity, more popularly called ‘vibrancy’, of agro-based clusters. Clusters, being ‘complex adaptive systems’, need to be assessed through an integrated framework of not only outputs but also processes that shape clusters. The authors have attempted to operationalize the constructs of social capital, firm productivity, entrepreneurship and innovation in context of agro-based clusters. While entrepreneurship, innovation and firm productivity present the output of clusters, social capital tends to have a two-way relationship with the cluster performance. The tool presented can be useful for cluster practitioners to assess the effectiveness of their cluster development initiatives. - Reproduced
