“…En la misma dirección, el IICA (2003) planteó que las economías de aglomeración y consolidación de "clusters productivos" determinan la competitividad y la forma en que los territorios pueden captar beneficios de la misma. Yelkikalan et al (2012) afirmaron que los clusters agrícolas son impulsores de la productividad en la industria alimentaria y esto, los reviste de un impacto global.…”

“…En Turquía Yelkikalan et al (2012) y en Ucrania, Ternovsky y Mirzoeva (2013), identificaron conglomerados de agricultores y ganaderos a través de la recopilación de información de fuentes secundarias y entrevistas no estructuradas. Estos estudios lograron definir, en qué localidades la creación de cooperativas y asociaciones han ayudado a incrementar productividad y competitividad de los clusters y los resultados advierten que el principal factor que impide la cooperación es la actitud negativa y falta de acceso a recursos financieros por parte de pequeños productores, ya que las opciones de crédito disponibles representan altas tasas de interés.…”

RESUMENEn el siguiente trabajo se revisó cómo se ha abordado el fenómeno del cluster en la agricultura debido a que el encadenamiento entre eslabones de la producción y los modelos de gestión de sistemas agrícolas son cada vez más importantes para el equilibrio de mercado de los productos agroalimentarios, principalmente en un entorno que impulsa el crecimiento acelerado en la demanda de alimentos, bienes industriales y biocombustibles. Para tal propósito se discutió la relación entre agricultura, desarrollo rural, cadenas agroalimentarias y clusters agrícolas. Luego se seleccionaron trabajos de investigación internacionales y latinoamericanos que se ocuparon de caracterizar, medir o diseñar estos sistemas, con el fin de identificar variables, tipos de enfoques, métodos de estudio y principales aportes a la mejora de su productividad y competitividad. Al final, se encontró que los estudios de caso ad hoc han sido los métodos más aplicados, seguidos de los análisis multivariados y las tablas inputs-outputs. Además, se pudo ver que el enfoque cuantitativo a través de la simulación matemática, apenas comienza a incluirse en el problema de diseño de clusters agrícolas y que la preocupación por este tema en Latinoamérica también es reciente.Palabras clave: Clusterización, estudios, agricultura, desarrollo rural. ABSTRACTThis article is a review of how the clustering phenomenon in agriculture has been studied, given the importance of the link between production and agricultural systems'management models for market equilibrium of food products, in an environment that promotes the accelerated growth of food production, industrial goods, and biofuels demand. For this, the relationship between agriculture, rural development, agrofood chains, and agricultural clusters is discussed. In addition, Latin American and international research that characterized, assessed, or designed agricultural clusters were selected in order to identify variables, approach types, study methods, and main contributions to improving their productivity and competitiveness. Overall, it was found that ad hoc case studies have been the most applied methods, followed by multivariate analysis and inputoutput tables. Further more, it was observed that the quantitative approach through mathematical simulation is just beginning to be included in the problem of designing agricultural clusters, and that concern for this topicin Latin America is also recent.

“…In highly dynamic economies and regions, those externalities – productivity, competitiveness and innovation – are central for development (Yelkikalan et al , 2012). Additionally, researchers support the role of regions as development engines for entire countries, even when globalization became the new normal (Bathelt et al , 2004; Feser, 1998; Jofre-Monseny et al , 2014; Leamer and Storper, 2001; Scott and Storper, 2007; Storper, 2009).…”

Purpose This conceptual paper aims to develop the vision of a novel policy tool called the digital industrial cluster (DIC) thought for a future context shaped by digital economies and Industry 4.0. The DIC departs from the industrial cluster’s precepts and take them into the digital agglomeration phenomenon. Design/methodology/approach This research uses a discursive and theoretical approach. To create a clear picture related to the research topic, this paper reviews the literature on how industrial clusters deal with digital transformation. The review takes a particular interest in industrial clusters, information and communication technologies, Industry 4.0 and policy tools for digital agglomeration. Findings The research develops the vision of the DIC as a new policy tool, building its foundations on both industrial clusters and digital economies; furthermore, the DIC was compared with other policy tools based on digital agglomeration to understand the similarities, differences and advantages of the former. Finally, this paper discussed where the DIC could find its way toward implementation and what externalities could be expected from doing so. Practical implications This research could be useful for policymakers and cluster organizations looking to deploy policy tools that take advantage of industrial clusters and digital transformation. Besides, the theoretical foundations presented could lead researchers to empirical identification of early incarnations of the DIC. Originality/value This paper develops theoretical principles for a new policy tool that connects industrial clusters, digital agglomeration and Industry 4.0 for the first time.

“…e relevance of industrial agglomeration is undeniable in a highly competitive and complex economy, in which productivity and innovation are key elements looking constantly for fertile ground to flourish (Yelkikalan et al, 2012). Additionally, urbanization and localization have proven to be an essential condition for economic development in the long term (Jofre-Monseny et al, 2014).…”

This paper presents a quantitative cluster mapping methodology for traded industries, adapted for the Spanish case; also explores the correlation between the existence of clusters and regional performance. e study is made at NUTS-2 level, and a total of forty-seven out of eighty-eight 2-digits codes for CNAE2009 are analyzed; ICT Index and Industry 4.0 Index are also designed and computed. A six-step methodology is applied departing from cross-industry linkages and implementing clustering algorithms; one set of clusters is elected and mapped over territory. The correlation analysis shows that a high number of clusters based on absolute employment data is positively correlated with variables associated with competitiveness, education, ICT adoption, and Industry 4.0, while no signiﬁcant correlation is found for GDP per capita nor earning per worker.
