Research Streams in Cluster Upgrading. A Literature Review

Abstract: This paper aims to identify and systemize the research streams in regional cluster upgrading. Cluster upgrading belongs to broader research in the dynamics of industrial agglomerations, currently, the major topic in studies on clusters. Within this literature, the upgrading concept differentiates by the focus on structural change in response to the insertion of regional clusters into global value chains (GVCs). Based on the narrative literature review, we identify and discuss two major research streams and cla… Show more

“…A maioria das pesquisas sobre o tema está concentrada no estudo de vantagens competitivas. Nesse sentido, o desenvolvimento de estudos sobre a dinâmica de aglomerados produtivos representa uma questão importante para acadêmicos e para formuladores de políticas, em especial, quanto ao planejamento adaptativo e proativo do desenvolvimento regional (Gancarczyk & Bohatkiewicz, 2018).…”

“…Moreover, embedding subsidiaries by the regional government can enable local enterprises to reap benefits from FDI (Dziemianowicz, Łukomska, & Ambroziak, 2018). The establishment of collaborations and technology transfer depends also on absorptive capacity, such as human resource qualifications and capabilities of regional enterprises (Bhawe & Zahra, 2019;Fernández-Serrano, Martínez-Román, & Romero, 2018, Gancarczyk & Bohatkiewicz, 2018.…”

“…The preferred EE profile would be based on the complementarity of LEs such as large, government-owned institutions or enterprises, and SMEs. Larger entities collaborating with SMEs might be helpful in implementing regional innovation policy and specialisation (Foray, 2014;Gancarczyk & Bohatkiewicz, 2018), and in integrating the regional EE with global value chains (Pietrobelli & Rabellotti, 2011;Gereffi & Lee, 2016;Lema, Rabellotti, & Sampath, 2018;European Commission, 2016).…”

“…Clusters are an example of network structures in which the cooperation of enterprises aims to obtain benefits primarily from geographical proximity, sectoral concentration, and social factors. Due to the achieved positive effects, a significant increase in interest in cluster and cluster initiatives has been observed for three decades not only in the scientific circles and the enterprise and R&D sector but also among representatives of higher levels of public management (cluster policy) (Vlados & Chatzinikolaou, 2019;Gancarczyk & Bohatkiewicz, 2018).…”
