2. WHAT IS INNOVATIVE CLUSTER?

DEFINITIONS, CONCEPTS AND THEORIES

“Groups of firms, research centers and

investors that work together within a

narrow physical proximity in order to

create new products, technologies and

enterprises. They work into invisible

relationship networks within a

complex social framework where the

collective industrial activity is based on

learning and knowledge”.

THE INNOVATIVE CLUSTER BORTAGARAY AND TIFFIN (2000)

Categories

1. Innovative industrial

clusters

2. Proto innovative clusters

3. Mature innovative clusters

THE INNOVATIVE CLUSTER BORTAGARAY AND TIFFIN (2000)

“Structure built to increase the level of knowledge and the participants’

innovative capacity and to give the organizations the possibility of

entering into relationships with other organizations and to support the

voluntary learning of their employees.”

THE INNOVATIVE CLUSTER(BESSANT AND TSEKOURAS, 2001)

• Geographic regions that are bounded by a network of shared

advantages create virtuous circles of innovation that succeed by

emphasizing the key strengths of local business, universities

and other research and development institutions, and non-

profit organization.

• Ejamples: information technology in Silicon Valley, music in

Nashville, manufacturing in the Pacific Northwest, or life

sciences in Massachusetts.

Knowledge based

firms

The firms are those that store and generate knowledge, they assure an

appropriate framework for the learning process, they induce trust and

cooperation. The anchor firms are defined as “wide sources of technology,

markets and expertise”. Beside them, there is a “swarm” of highly innovative

small firms, spinoffs, startups and big corporations, the last ones being

themselves innovation systems in miniature

Knowledge inputs Universities, research-development laboratories, publications, expertise,

other sources.

Consulting services Firms specialized in technology transfer, legal services (brands, patents),

accounting firms, industrial design firms, industrial engineering firms,

marketing firms, patronal associations.

Specialized inputs Specific or to be adapted materials, instruments, equipment.

Markets Sophisticated customers, the government-consumer.

Cluster support Existence of public and private organizations to manage the network, to

promote it, to assure coordination (a kind of turntable plate of the cluster).

The business incubators are also rated as support organizations

Financing Capital, risk capital and knowledge based banks with highly local character.

TANGIBLE

CultureFavorable social climate: local cultural values, the

contractors’ value system, the business and socio-

cultural environment, the legal framework.

IntegrationFormal and informal links, and interactions within

individuals, and organizations.

Life qualityQuality of life for the persons who work into the

community where the clusters operate, measured

through the cost of houses, leisure facilities,

quality schools, and hospitals, urban services, and

so on.

INTANGIBLE

The key question facing policy-makers is how best to create the conditions to

stimulate innovativeness, and consequently, (Schumpeterian)

competitiveness.

There is a need to link innovation, knowledge management, human resource

and cluster policies.
