Ideas:
“  Present research involves; (1) How do economic laws determine the shape of organisations (2) When organisations cluster in e.g. tech hubs or science parks, what is the best way of them to organise their structure and (3) create a computer model for business clusters feasibility, what metric(s) can be used to stipulate the distance between clusters and how do age, size and stage in the maturity cycle affect this distance? This approach is very relevant not only to consultants, owners, entrepreneurs and academics, but also to everyone who has a job.  ”
