Esta pesquisa busca avaliar a influência da localização em cluster no desempenho inovativo das firmas, na estrutura para inovação e nas fontes de inovação acessadas pelas firmas. O trabalho se fundamenta na premissa teórica de que as firmas localizadas em concentrações geográficas de empresas e instituições de um determinado campo conectadas entre si – os clusters – possuem acesso diferenciado a fatores de oportunidade, apropriabilidade e cumulatividade de conhecimento inerentes ao processo de inovação, que podem influenciar positivamente seu desempenho inovativo. A pesquisa possui natureza dedutiva quantitativa e foi estruturada com um modelo de análise discriminante empregando duas populações, sendo a primeira população composta por firmas isoladas geograficamente e outra composta de firmas localizadas em clusters. O processo de análise foi organizado em três etapas: na primeira etapa, avaliou-se uma população de 342 firmas contendo grupos desiguais de firmas em cluster e firmas isoladas, pertencentes a 23 setores de atividade. Na segunda etapa foi empregada uma amostra de 90 firmas pertencentes a cinco setores de atividade, divididas em dois grupos com populações idênticas: um grupo de 45 firmas localizadas em cluster e um grupo de 45 firmas isoladas. Em uma terceira etapa, foram avaliados os seis clusters aos quais pertenciam as firmas analizadas na segunda etapa. Os resultados indicam que a organização em cluster não exerce influência significativa nas três dimensões da inovação analisadas. / This research was dedicated to analyze if firms located in clusters show superior innovative performance, access different sources of innovation and possess unique organizational structures to innovate. The project was based on the theoretical assumption that firms located in certain geographical areas which show a concentration of interconnected companies and institutions of the same field – called clusters – can benefit from access to factors of opportunity, appropriability and cumulativeness of knowledge inherent to the innovation process, thus having their innovative performance positively influenced. The analysis has a deductive, quantitative approach and uses multivariate discriminant analysis with a sample of two groups of companies from the same industrial sectors. The process was structured in three stages: the first stage focused on a population of 342 firms from 23 industrial sectors divided in two unequal groups of firms located in clusters and isolated firms. The second stage employed a population of 90 firms from five activity sectors, organized in two groups with balanced populations – one with 45 firms in clusters and with 45 isolated firms. The third and final stage analyzed six regional clusters from which the clustered population used in stage 2 was located. The results showed no significant influence of regional clusters in any of the three dimensions of innovation analyzed.

<p>Bakgrund: Klusterbegreppet introducerades under 1900-talet, men fenomenet erkändes redan under tidigt 1900-tal. Trots att marknaderna idag blir mer globaliserade, är klusterbegreppet fortfarande aktuellt. Som exempel på områden som kännetecknas av starka länkar mellan företagen kan Silicon Valley och Sophia-Antipolis nämnas, även kända som ”Industriella Hollywoods”.</p><p>Syfte: Syftet med denna uppsats är att analysera interaktioner mellan aktörer inom ett lokalt ”Industriellt Hollywood” – Mjärdevi Science Park. Hur förhåller sig aktörerna till fördelar med att befinna sig inom ett närområde, i hur stor utsträckning utnyttjas dessa agglomerationsmöjligheter och varför?</p><p>Metod: Denna studie är baserad på djupintervjuer med sexton företagsrepresentanter från Mjärdevi Science Park och en professor från Linköpings Universitet.</p><p>Resultat: Aktörerna verkar vara medvetna om vilka agglomerationsfördelar som föreligger, dock utnyttjas dessa inte i någon större utsträckning. Störst kontakt har aktörerna på det sociala planet, tack vare en gemensam bakgrund samt ihärdiga försök från Mjärdevi Science Park AB:s sida att initiera kontakt mellan företagen.</p> / <p>Background: Porter introduced the concept of clusters in the 1990’s, but the phenomenon has been acknowledged since the beginning of the 20th century. In spite of the fact that markets are becoming increasingly more global today, the concept of clusters is still very much alive. Regional agglomerations of companies, commonly referred to as clusters, are exemplified by so- called ”Industrial Hollywoods”, such as Silicon Valley and Sophia-Antipolis. Purpose: We are intrigued by this paradox development of the markets and want to analyse interactions between actors within the local ”Industrial Hollywood” – Mjärdevi Science Park. This in order to find out whether these actors recognise any advantages of being located in a cluster of companies and to what extent agglomeration possibilities are exploited. Research Method: This study is based on interviews with sixteen actors from companies located in Mjärdevi Science Park, and one professor from Linköping University. We have also used secondary sources. Result: The actors recognise advantages to company agglomerations but do not seem to exploit these advantages to a great extent. However, several of the actors are in some way inter-connected, mostly on a social level due to common backgrounds and continuous attempts by Mjärdevi Science Park AB to initiate contact between companies.</p>
