“Competitive advantage of Nations”
Michael Porter
Clusters
Examples of agglomeration
Enterprises: benefits from Clusters-Direct and easy access to specialized providers, services, financial and human resources
-Spill-overs of information and knowledge
-Flexibility, direct response and change due to high degree of specialization
-Faster adaptation to innovation through imitation
define the collective capacity of an area to upgrade the potential of its enterprises to face the macroeconomic changes, by developing new comparative advantages…Michel de Bernardy, 1998
The learning procedures within the Clusters
1. Not easy to transfer (personal
and business relations)
2. Not easy to reproduce (tacit
knowledge)Foss, 1996
