The geographical concentration (clustering) of economic activities is a global phenomenon, but a detailed study combining on the three critical entrepreneurial talents required for socio-economic transformation of a region has not been carried out so far, particularly in India. The present study analyses the clustering pattern of the three critical factors / entrepreneurial talents which are required for the successful emergence of new business enterprises as well as expansion of existing business enterprises in a region. In the case of 157 venture capitalists (VC's) and also the quantum of venture capital (VC) financing, the concentration exists towards western region indicating Political-related as well as Finance-related clustering; whereas in the case of 36 business incubators (BI's) and 1170 incubatees, concentration is towards southern region indicating the presence of Technology-related clustering. The clustering equation may change in the years to come depending on the development taking place in the technology sector and also on the changing scenario of the political leadership as well as financial market conditions, which may bring in more finance so as to have a uniform development in India as a whole in the near future.Keywords

Many studies carried out (at individual country level and also inter-country comparative level, encompassing varied subjects in primary and secondary education as well as at university) have examined the influence of learning motivation on academic performance and satisfaction level of students. It is within this research framework that we explored the learning motivation, learning performance, and learning satisfaction level among students of hospitality and tourism course. A comparative study is being carried out between students from two institutions THTC, Taiwan (Hualien) and OSHM, India (Wynad). Students majoring (3 year programme) in hospitality & tourism programmes were selected and a structured 5-point Likert questionnaire is being administered among 200 students from THTC and 120 students from OSHM. By administering the questionnaire, we obtained information about demographic profiles of students and the three basic components about learning (motivation, performance, and satisfaction). Both sets of data about students from Taiwan and India were analysed and found to be reliable and showed a good fit. Data analysis revealed some interesting facts about student's levels of motivation, performance, and satisfaction from the two countries.Keywords
