“…Fifth and final, organizations in the DIC are expected to compete and collaborate, as it happens in the industrial cluster to which they belong. As those organizations are expected to belong to interconnected traditional industrial clusters, they should be more open and more used to collaboration and competition as long as they possess infrastructure – both analog and digital – to support such interactions beforehand (Alcacer et al , 2016; Delgado et al , 2014; Jofre-Monseny et al , 2014; Wixted, 2009).…”

“…Since then, scholars have endeavored to consolidate the theoretical and empirical literature to understand and explain the causes and effects of agglomeration (Babkin et al , 2017; Bayliss, 2007; Cruz and Teixeira, 2010; Duranton and Puga, 2004; Fujita and Mori, 2005; Hoover, 1948; Krugman, 1991; Malmberg and Maskell, 2002; Romanelli and Khessina, 2005; Skokan and Zotyková, 2014; Wixted, 2009; Zeibote and Muravska, 2018). However, these efforts found their main challenge in the conceptual heterogeneity embedded in the theory of agglomeration, which describes similar phenomena using different concepts (Duranton, 2011; Ortega-Colomer et al , 2016; 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.

“…A criticism of the RIS is that many activities are not simply local in nature and are part of much larger networks of activity. Wixted (2009) has shown distinct structures of activity in sectors across the world, with regions in nations playing roles in the global industry. The TS framework (Carlsson and Stankiewicz, 1991;Carlsson and Jacobsson, 1994) is defined as: 'networks of agents interacting in each specific area of technology under a particular institutional infrastructure' (Carlsson and Jacobsson, 1994, p.235).…”

How do innovation systems interact? Schumpeterian innovation in seven Australian sectors

2012

This paper analyses how and why different types of innovation systems interact through analysing seven Australian sectors. We find that there are sets of mechanisms or systems that ‘articulate’; i.e. structure and shape the interaction among sectoral innovation systems and other types of innovation systems. Drawing on the Schumpeterian and evolutionary legacy, we contribute a theoretical explanation of how interaction among innovation systems influences innovation. First, this interaction enables and enhances variety creation by expanding the new combinations of knowledge and resources a firm can achieve. Second, it allows for more efficient and effective scaling up of useful knowledge recombination to achieve increasing returns. Empirically, this is supported in that the more successful sectors have active articulation systems with alignment with other systems, while weaker sectors have unplanned and patchy linkages. No simple model seems to explain successful articulation. However, important factors are active receptor firms with the motivation and capabilities to absorb and use resources from external systems, high quality and responsive education systems, and international linkages. Public research, labour markets, and intermediaries varied in importance.
