Building local nodes in a global sector: Clustering within the aeronautics industry in Montreal

Abstract: This article analyzes the mechanisms through which metropolitan governance is established in Montreal's aeronautics sector, one of the most important and innovative industries in the region. The article also examines the role of lead firms, socio‐economic actors, and public agencies from a territorial point of view. It is established that on the one hand the existence of a small number of prime producers at the local level facilitates productive linkages among businesses through subcontracting, and on the othe… Show more

“…These linkages and networks can be formalized and developed within intermediary organizations such as cluster initiatives (Ahedo, 2004;Mattsson, 2009;Hassen et al, 2011). Through leadership and channelling resources they contribute to the increased efficiency of clusters and therefore could accelerate the growth and competitiveness of regions Waxell & Malmberg 2007;Wincent et al, 2012).…”

“…D'autres travaux ont permis de cerner les mécanismes qui favorisent la transmission des connaissances et l'innovation au sein de la grappe montréalaise (Niosi et Zhegu, 2005). Enfin, des recherches ont souligné l'apport des acteurs intermédiaires dans l'innovation (Hassen et al, 2011;Tremblay et al, 2012). Notre étude contribue à ces travaux en se penchant sur un aspect peu documenté, l'apport des institutions à la mutualisation de la GDT.…”

“…Les petits manufacturiers en aérospatiale ont collaboré trois fois plus avec le milieu universitaire et quatre fois plus avec les organismes de recherche gouvernementaux par rapport à d'autres petites entreprises manufacturières. Les études sur la grappe aérospatiale montréalaise (Niosi et Zhegu, 2005;Hassen et al, 2011;Doloreux et al, 2011;Tremblay et al, 2012) suggèrent d'ailleurs que cette plus forte propension de l'industrie à la fois à innover et collaborer est intimement associée à la présence d'une variété d'agences intermédiaires. Le Tableau 1 présente les principales agences intermédiaires ayant pour mission le développement du secteur et de la main-d'oeuvre.…”

“…The Quebec government has a long history of a seamless support for this sector, starting with the training of all types of highly qualified personnel (HQP), and moving through to the soft financing of Bombardier using the Quebec provincial pension fund investments. Toronto, however, ignores the need to support these “flagship” innovative industries (Galvin ; Doloreux et al ; Hassen et al ; Hassen et al ).…”
