“…The strong relationships with suppliers can help enterprises to survive the effects of the downturn. One of the main sources of enterprise competitiveness, according to Kahl and Hundt (2015) and Porter et al (2007) remains the clusters, increasing the productivity of enterprises which constitute them.…”

The purpose of this study was to examine the assumptions of corporate social responsibility (CSR) as competitiveness factor in economic downturn. Findings indicate that factors affecting the quality of the micro-economic business environment, i.e., the sophistication of enterprise's strategy and management processes, the quality of the human capital resources, the increase of product / service demand, the development of related and supporting sectors and the efficiency of natural resources, and competitive capacities of enterprise impact competitiveness at a micro-level. The outcomes suggest that the implementation of CSR elements, i.e., economic, environmental and social responsibilities, gives good opportunities to increase business competitiveness.

“…Discussions on resilience focus on how regional economies respond and adjust to shocks (Fröhlich & Hassink, 2018; Kahl & Hundt, 2015; Murua & Ferrero, 2019; Xiao et al., 2018). They seek to understand how the regions react and transform after a shock (Martin & Sunley, 2015), what elements compose regional resilience (Boschma, 2015), how resilience can be mitigated by public policies (Eraydin, 2016), and how the concept can be transplanted to the discussion on clusters (Suire & Vicente, 2014).…”

“…The region must maintain a cognitive distance that enables the generation and sharing of new ideas on the network while having proximity that enables technological coherence. In this way, resilience is connected to networks by preserving the diversity of knowledge that flows through knowledge networks (Kahl & Hundt, 2015) created and reinforced through social proximity (Molina‐Morales & Martínez‐Fernández, 2010). Networks formed with a high degree of proximity and social capital tend to be densely connected, and social ties combine with economic ties (Maghssudipour et al., 2020).…”

Trajectory and cluster resilience elements: The case of the Brazilian wine cluster of the Serra Gaúcha

et al. 2023

The recent economic, technological, and social shocks have led to a period of high economic uncertainty. The term "economic resilience" has been used to describe how regional clusters deal with and adapt to various shocks. This paper aims to analyze the elements that influence the resilience trajectory of a cluster. We conduct qualitative and exploratory research on the centennial Wine Cluster in Serra Gaúcha, Brazil, using data sources, interviews, and documents. To this end, we first identify seven elements that influence cluster resilience from the literature review.Subsequently, through an empirical case study, we verify whether these elements could represent the resilience of clusters. The results show that these seven elements are integrable and represent dimensions that explain the resilience of the cluster analyzed. Moreover, the findings highlight that resilience and resistance to crises are the historical results of improvements and the development of new routines for clustered companies. This study contributes to the cluster resilience literature and presents elements explaining how regions can adapt to and deal with shocks.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explain the effects of innovation, specialisation, qualifications and sectoral structure on the resilience of German regions (municipal level) facing the Great Recession in 2008/2009. Design/methodology/approach To calculate the effects of various variables on the resilience of German regions against the Great Recession, the authors use quantile regressions. To measure resilience, the authors create a number of indexes representing different parts of the economy: resistance performance index, recovery performance index, shift-share resistance index, shift-share recovery index, manufacturing resistance index, manufacturing recovery index, service resistance index and service recovery index. Findings The results of this study confirm that locations with employment growth before the crisis and with a good industry structure show better employment dynamics during and after the crisis. The authors find evidence for positive relationship between innovativeness, qualification, the share of the service sector, specialisation and resistance. The authors obtain positive results for related variety and both resistance and recovery. The share of the manufacturing sector only shows a positive relationship with recovery. Originality/value The authors expand the existing literature in three aspects: First, instead of using regions as observation units, the authors conduct the analyses on the basis of municipalities and their surroundings. By doing so, the authors reduce the modifiable area unit problem because the authors do not rely on regions defined for administrative reasons. Second, the authors apply quantile regressions to detect nonlinear effects. Third, in addition to the resilience of the whole economy, the authors also study the resilience of the manufacturing and service sectors separately and examine the resilience of the local shift effect.
