10 Examples of agglomeration Michael Porter Clusters Competitive advantage of Nations
11 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
12 The learning procedures within the Clusters 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
13 Regional comparative advantage 1. Not easy to transfer (personal and business relations) 2. Not easy to reproduce (tacit knowledge) Foss, 1996
14 Only black or white? Clusters either spontaneous or artificial?
