“…Table summarizes the life cycle of Elopsys and highlights its overall trends. It corresponds almost to the one described by Carli and Morrison () in their recent case study: they distinguish three phases in the CLC which are emergence, take‐off, and renewal…”

“…Following this approach, we argue for the integration of social embeddedness as a driver in the emergence and further evolution of clusters. Interpersonal ties and partnerships boost the emergence and development of clusters because they promote (tacit) knowledge sharing and trust between stakeholders, reduce opportunistic behaviors, and enhance cooperation and collective learning (Capello & Faggian, ; Carli & Morrison, ).…”

“…In this context, institutional environment can be a strong support to the emergence and development of cluster, by reducing the uncertainty of the actors in the cluster and promoting their access to markets (including financial support). It also provides human capital (e.g., engineers, technicians, managers) and in some cases future entrepreneurs, besides acting also as cluster enabling factors (Carli & Morrison, ; Feldman & Braunerhjelm, ).…”

Capturing cluster life cycle with a mixed‐method analysis: Evidence from a French cluster case study

This article contributes to the growing literature on cluster life cycles (CLC) by demonstrating the opportunities offered by a mixed‐method approach. The combination of qualitative and quantitative data is useful both to describe the evolution of network patterns and to provide an understanding of the drivers of CLC. Based on the literature, we rely on a theoretical background integrating the pre‐existing context (cognitive, institutional, and social) in which actors involved in the nascent cluster are embedded, in order to capture the impact of the genesis period on the cluster's subsequent trajectory. The operationalization of this mixed‐method focused on one case study highlights the determining period of the genesis, since CLC is rooted in (a) the building of interpersonal relationships between actors from science and industry, (b) a longstanding specialization in a technological domain, and (c) policy opportunities and guidelines. The cluster trajectory remains driven by the initial policies, the cluster's nascent specialization and the founders' pre‐existing relationships over time, with an evolving role of each type of embeddedness over time.

“…Importante ressaltar que mesmo que as condições iniciais sejam iguais, isso não implica necessariamente na evolução homogênea dos clusters já que estes respondem de maneiras diferentes a choques externos e evoluem de maneira divergente conforme as capacidades intrínsecas de cada agrupamento. Portanto, os clusters não podem ser analisados como entidades isoladas uma vez que sua dinâmica interna é moldada também pelo ambiente externo (CARLI; MORRISON, 2018).…”

O objetivo desse estudo foi identificar o estado da arte dos estudos e pesquisas científicas envolvendo o ciclo de vida dos clusters. Para isso, foi elaborada uma revisão sistemática do conteúdo, abordando tanto a análise qualitativa quanto quantitativa utilizando como filtros as palavras-chave: “cluster* life cycle” e “cluster* lifecycle”. As bases pesquisada foram: Web of Science, Scopus e Science Direct. Os resultados mostram que o assunto sobre o ciclo de vida dos cluster não é uma temática tão recente, porém ao longo dos anos ocorreram variações na quantidade de artigos publicados sobre o tema. Além disso, pode-se observar por meio da análise qualitativa que somente 26 autores avaliaram a fase do ciclo de vida em que os clusters se encontravam, considerando uma amostra total de 65 artigos e nessa análise predominou uma análise mista através de entrevistas com agentes chaves e pesquisa da história do cluster.ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study was to identify the state of the art of scientific studies and research involving the life cycle of the clusters.

The bases searched were: Web of Science, Scopus and Science Direct. The results show that the subject about the life cycle of the clusters is not such a recent topic, however over the years there have been variations in the number of articles published on the subject. In addition, it can be seen through qualitative analysis that only 26 authors evaluated the phase of the life cycle in which the clusters were, considering a total sample of 65 articles and in this analysis a mixed analysis predominated through interviews with key agents and research on the history of the cluster.

“…This is the case of the Sassuolo ceramic district located in the provinces of Modena and Reggio Emilia in Italy, analyzed in this paper [43]. The dynamism of this balance can favour, both from a theoretical and managerial point of view, the adoption of a life-cycle methodological approach, to explain the dynamics of some of the most famous district systems and to describe the prevailing modes of interaction among economic operators [44][45][46][47][48]. However, the adoption of a life-cycle perspective requires that the main social actors do not limit their responsibility to the stages of the supply chain that they directly control but would constitute the prerequisite for a solid sustainability assessment, in order to identify opportunities for reducing environmental impact, industrial costs and, as a consequence, greater efficiency in the use of resources [49,50].…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore how sustainability can become a source of competitive advantage for mature manufacturing sectors where technologies are standardized, and innovation is mainly generated across the value chain and not by individual companies. Design/methodology/approach From the methodological point of view, this research estimates the sustainability status of ceramic production in the Sassuolo district (Italy), using the Life Cycle Sustainability Assessment (LCSA) model, and changing the observation point for the analysis, from the enterprise (micro level) to the entire sector (meso level). Findings This paper provides an analysis of the environmental, economic and social impacts of the four main types of ceramic tiles manufactured in Italy, both in aggregate terms for the entire sector and per square meter of product. Practical implications The methodological approach used in this research is easy to replicate both for companies when designing their sustainability strategies and for public decision makers when assessing the sustainability performance of a sector or supply chain. Social implications For the first time, a socio-economic impact assessment is proposed for the ceramic sector, conducted in parallel with the environmental impact assessment through stakeholder mapping and prioritization. Originality/value This paper conceptualizes the theme of relations and interdependencies between ceramic producers organized in industrial districts and the territories in which they operate in order to determine empirically the sustainability performance of Italian ceramic sector, using the LCSA model with a territorial extension that presupposes an innovative contribution to current literature and practice.
