The main goal of the thesis is an analysis of contemporary unpleasant situation in the hop growing area and verification, that foundation of a hop cluster may help hop growers simplify their business and increase their profitability. For the analysis of the mentioned area I have used Porter's diamond model. In the thesis there are described elementary principles of cluster working, its geographic definition set by its membership and even a SWOT analysis, focused especially on benefits of cluster hop growers benefits. In the conclusion I have outlined the possible ways of cluster financing from private and public sources.

In Florianópolis, the promulgation of the Law of Innovation defined incentives to the formation of organizational networks, called Arranjos Promotores de Inovação (API). With that, the city s first API, the API.nano, started to be developed by CERTI, which invited LabGes/ESAG/UDESC to define the API s management and governance system, containing the system s business process mapping. In this context, this thesis details the development of a stakeholders requirement engineering of ICT systems capable of supporting the collaborative activities of the API.nano s organizations based in the process mapping developed. Supported by the literature about clusters of innovation, computer-supported cooperative work and requirement engineering, the research is divided in two phases. The first one constituted in the coding of the activities of the process mapping, which allowed their classification in 11 collaborative characteristics. Afterwards, a interpretative requirement analysis of the relationships exposed by the coding ensued. As a result, 30 stakeholders requirements were elicited. These requirements can the base for the definition of a ICT systems ecology capable of satisfying the collaborative work support technological needs of the API. / Cada vez mais organizações vem se ligando em redes, e os governantes, cientes dos ganhos obtidos com estas ligações, criam incentivos para fomentar seu desenvolvimento. Em Florianópolis, a promulgação da Lei da Inovação criou incentivos para a formação de redes organizacionais chamadas pela lei de Arranjos Promotores de Inovação (API). Com isso, o primeiro API da cidade, o API.nano, começou a ser desenvolvido pela Fundação CERTI, que convidou o LabGes/ESAG/UDESC a definir o sistema de gestão e governança do API, contendo um mapeamento de processos de negócio do sistema. Neste contexto, esta dissertação detalha o desenvolvimento de uma engenharia de requisitos de stakeholder de sistemas de TIC capazes de auxiliar as atividades colaborativas das organizações do API.nano com base no mapeamento de processos desenvolvido. Fundamentada pela literatura sobre clusters de inovação, sistemas de TIC no trabalho colaborativo e engenharia de requisitos, a pesquisa se dividiu em duas etapas. A primeira consistiu numa codificação das atividades do mapeamento de processos, que permitiu a classificação das atividades em 11 características colaborativas. Em seguida, uma análise de requisitos interpretativa foi realizada nas relações expostas pela codificação. Como resultado, 30 requisitos de stakeholders foram propostos. Estes requisitos podem servir de base para a definição de uma ecologia de sistemas de TIC capaz de satisfazer as necessidades tecnológicas de suporte do trabalho colaborativo do API.

Malaysia is a transition economic country that aims to be a developed country by 2020. In realising this mission (Vision 2020), the cluster concept has been an interest and adopted by the central authorities. There are few years ahead to reach the targeted year and it interest of this study to investigate the relevant development on its own engineered cluster of the Multimedia Super Corridor (MSC) that was put forward on the success of Silicon Valley in the US. This thesis focuses on the development of the MSC cluster in the Malaysia context. It examines and measures the state of the cluster, the role played by its core actors (from Triple Helix perspective) and their relationship in the MSC. The role of collaboration has been used to measure the relationship among actors with the key determinants of cluster formation. A mixed data collection method was used to answer the research question and objectives involved. A conceptual model for analysing the MSC cluster is proposed, bringing together insights from the literature on clusters, role of actors, collaborative relationship and the complex systems of innovation approach. This conceptual model uncover the weaknesses of social dimension (social infrastructure) in Porter’s diamond model and the general approach of Triple Helix model in the cluster development. The cluster lifecycle model is used to add the depth to the analysis on the condition of cluster development.
