Recent developments relating the conditions in molecular clouds to star formation triggered by a prior stellar generation are reviewed. Primary processes are those that lead to the formation of a first stellar generation. The secondary processes that produce stars in response to effects caused by existing stars are compared and evaluated in terms of the observational data presently available. The role of turbulence in producing clumpy cloud structures is discussed. New work on colliding inter-cloud gas flows leading to non-linear inhomogeneous cloud structures in an intially smooth cloud is introduced. This clumpy morphology has important consequences for secondary formation. The triggering processes of supernovae, stellar winds, and H2 regions are discussed with emphasis on the consequences for radiation driven implosion as a promising secondary star formation mechanism.
