Knowledge Networks And Cognitive Communities In Clusters: The Case Of Ict Cluster Of Metu Technopolis And Agricultural Tools And Machinery Cluster Of Konya

Yasar, Suna Senem 01 September 2010 (has links) (PDF)
Knowledge is defined one of the fundamental resources for development, competitiveness and power of firms, industrial clusters and regions. Their competitiveness and development have a strong relationship with their ability to create, absorb and utilize knowledge and to learn, i.e. their cognitive capabilities. This thesis is focused on clusters as cognitive and learning systems. Clusters are the agglomerations where collective learning may take place. New knowledge is created and shared within the clusters&#039 / knowledge networks. Knowledge networks and cognitive communities as a part of these networks are seen as the significant topics in the literature to explain both the cognitive processes in firms, in industrial clusters and between industrial clusters. The main aim of the thesis is to explore the creation, absorption and transfer of knowledge in networks and cognitive communities in industrial clusters based on different technologies. To achieve this aim two empirical studies on different clusters with different technologies have been elaborated. The first one is an ICT cluster in METUTech and the second one is agricultural tools and machinery cluster in Konya. The data for the analysis collected through two different types of questionnaire, firm questionnaire and employee questionnaire. The first questionnaire is realized with producer firms in those sectors. The second questionnaire is conducted with the engineers. The data acquired from the questionnaire were evaluated based on descriptive analysis, correlation and social network analysis. Results are used to evaluate and compare the knowledge structures and cognitive communities in those clusters.

Design Of A Performance Measurement Model For Industrial Clusters In Turkey

Gurellier, Ozlem 01 December 2010 (has links) (PDF)
Despite the advantages and dominance of globalization in today&rsquo / s world economics / clusters, as a regional based development tool, still attract many researchers and policy makers from all over the world in order to obtain sustainable competitiveness. As a result of fast rising number of cluster development policies and initiatives, the importance of measuring the performance of clusters arises. The purpose of this thesis is to design a performance measurement model, which will be applied to industrial clusters in Turkey. A model framework is developed, based on expected outcomes of clusters which are classified as productivity, innovativeness, new business formations and social capital. Indicators are selected based on extensive literature survey under these four determinants, and a scorecard is developed. After the design phase, the performance of two cluster cases from Turkey is studied. In order to improve clustering approach, it is important to monitor, measure identify the progress of clusters. It is believed that this work will be utile for policy makers to identify whether the interventions, incentives and promotions are beneficial for the desired purposes and whether they are used effectively.

Estudo da viabilidade de existência de transferência de tecnologia a partir da implantação de um centro logístico e industrial aduaneiro na cidade de Ponta Grossa - PR

Zammar, Alexandre 28 February 2013 (has links)
O Centro Logístico e Industrial Aduaneiro consiste numa plataforma logística onde reunirá tudo que diz respeito à eficiência logística, adicionada de uma região alfandegada, que se trata de uma zona neutra. Isto possibilitará que as empresas ali instaladas possam importar suas matérias primas, produzir e só no momento da destinação de sua produção é que incidirão os impostos, quer sejam de importação, para o mercado interno, quer seja de exportação, para o mercado externo. Este modelo possibilitará um fôlego de caixa muito grande às empresas que hoje não contam com esta estrutura e não são premiadas com os regimes especiais aduaneiros. Estruturas semelhantes estão presentes em todo o mundo, mas se diferenciam em suas especificidades. Na revisão de literatura foram abordados os estilos de plataformas encontrados pelo mundo, e em nenhum caso se percebeu alguma iniciativa semelhante a este estudo, que propôs a interação do Governo-Empresa-Universidades, através da transferência de tecnologia presente no empreendimento. O estudo baseou-se na percepção dos gestores de comércio exterior das empresas participantes da pesquisa. Ao final foi possível conhecer as dificuldades percebidas pelos gestores e seus anseios de mudança na forma de obter maior competitividade no momento de comercializar sua produção. Estes gestores mostraram-se ainda, dispostos a participar de uma governança colaborativa para transferir tecnologia, e formar um cluster fortalecido por abrigar concorrentes verticais que necessitam de diferenciação e competitividade em seus ramos de atuação. Foram apontados quatro mecanismos de transferência de tecnologia como mais importantes. Ao final, foi proposto um framework. / The Customs Industrial and Logistics Centre is a logistics platform which will bring together everything that concerns the logistics efficiency, plus a bonded area, it is a neutral zone. This will enable companies installed there to import their raw materials, and produce, the fees will be paid only when products are sold, whether import to the domestic market, whether for export to foreign markets. This model will allow a breath of very large box that companies today do not have this structure and are not rewarded with the special regimes. Similar structures are present through the world, but differ in their specificity. In the literature review addressed the styles of platforms found through the world, and in any case it was realized some initiative similar to this study, proposed that the interaction of the Government-University-Industry, through the transfer of technology in this endeavor. The study was based on the perception of managers of foreign trade enterprises participating in the research. Then it was possible to know the difficulties perceived by managers and their desire for change in the way to get more competitive market at the time of its production. These managers were even willing to participate in a collaborative governance to transfer technology and form a cluster strengthened by vertical house competitors who require differentiation and competitiveness in their fields of expertise. Were appointed four mechanisms for technology transfer as more important. At the end, we proposed a framework.

Nadae, Jeniffer de. January 2010 (has links)
Resumo: O objetivo desta pesquisa é propor um método para introdução de práticas integradas de gestão da qualidade, meio ambiente e segurança e saúde no trabalho a ser implantado coletivamente pelas PMEs pertencentes a clusters industriais. Este método foi desenvolvido com base em uma revisão bibliográfica e uma pesquisa de campo, que ajudou a conhecer o ambiente e o comportamento das PMEs em um cluster. Para consecução do proposto, selecionou-se o cluster industrial metal-mecânico localizado na cidade de Sertãozinho-SP como base para uma pesquisa exploratória, visando contribuir com a formulação do método. Os instrumentos utilizados para a coleta de dados foram a entrevista semi-estruturada com o agente de governança e o questionário aplicado em uma amostra de 20 empresas do aglomerado. Com base no referencial teórico, elaborou-se um método para introdução de práticas integradas de gestão. este método está dividido em três macroetapas: (i) preparação/planejamento, (ii) implantação e (iii) avaliação e manutenção. Cada uma das etapas é composta por ações que devem ser desenvolvidas pelas empresas e pela governança. A implantação deste método requer acompanhamento constante do agente de governança do cluster, além de ser um processo que busca a melhoria contínua / Abstract: The objective of this research is to propose a practical method for introducing integrated quality management, environment, safety and health at work to be implemented collectively by SMEs belonging to industrial clusters. This method was development based on a literature review and field research, which helped to understand the environment and the behavior or SMEs in a cluster. To achieve the proposed selected to the metal-mechanic industrial cluster located in the town of Sertaozinho-SP as a basis for exploratory research, to contribute to the formulation of the method. The instruments used for data collection were semi-structured interview with the agent of governance and the questionnaire in a sample of 20 companies of the custer. Based on the theoretical framework, developed a method for introduction of integrated management practices. This method is divided into three macroetapas: (i) preparation/planning, (ii) deployment and (iii) evaluation and maintenance. Each stage consists of actions that should be developed by business and governance. The implementation of this method requires constant monitoring of the agent's governance cluster, besides being a process that seeks continuous improvement / Orientador: Otávio J. de Oliveira / Coorientador: Edwin V.

Modelo de análise da governança para apoiar a inserção competitiva de aglomerações industriais em cadeias globais de valor

Geiger, Albert January 2011 (has links)
A globalização da economia tem induzido as empresas a se integrarem em diferentes tipos de aglomerações industriais. Estas aglomerações geralmente podem ser definidas a partir de dois aspectos principais: a sequência de relacionamentos entre empresas para distribuição dos produtos nos mercados regionais e globais, as chamadas cadeias produtivas ou globais de valor, e a concentração geográfica das empresas em um determinado território, denominada de cluster ou aglomeração industrial. Neste sentido, a globalização e a regionalização andam juntas, pois quanto mais global é o consumo de um determinado bem, maior a tendência de concentração espacial de empresas complementares para a produção deste bem. Porém a simples concentração geográfica da produção, por si, só não é suficiente para aumentar a competitividade das empresas da aglomeração. É necessário que sejam articuladas ações coletivas de direção e coordenação, de forma a aumentar a competitividade do conjunto de empresas envolvidas no esforço denominado de governança. Buscando contribuir com esta questão, o trabalho propõe o desenvolvimento de um modelo de análise de governança e uma metodologia de implantação para inserção competitiva de aglomerações industriais em cadeias globais de valor. Para atingir este objetivo, a pesquisa inicia com a caracterização das aglomerações industriais sejam elas baseadas em produtos ou baseadas no território. Na sequência são identificados vários aspectos relacionados à governança de aglomerações industriais, de forma a identificar os elementos-base para a proposição de um modelo de análise da governança. Com os elementos identificados, é proposto um modelo inicial de análise de governança. Este modelo é aplicado inicialmente em algumas aglomerações industriais maduras, já inseridas competitivamente em cadeias globais de valor. A partir desta aplicação é proposto um modelo final e uma metodologia passo a passo para a sua implementação. Finalmente, buscando testar a aplicabilidade do modelo e da metodologia desenvolvidos, o mesmo é aplicado parcialmente em uma aglomeração industrial. Por fim, a partir de um estudo de caso, são apresentadas as conclusões e recomendações relativas ao modelo, à metodologia e ao estudo de caso decorrentes do trabalho desenvolvido. / The globalization of the economy has leaded the companies to integrate themselves in different kind of agglomerations. These agglomerations can be defined by two principal aspects: The sequence of relationships between companies organized to distribute the goods on regional or global markets, called productive chain or global value chains, and the geographic concentration of firms in a specific territory, called industrial agglomeration or cluster. On this way, globalization and regionalization can run together because how global is the consumption of a specific good, bigger is the tendency to concentrate complementary companies to produce it. But the geographic production concentration itself is not enough to increase the competitiveness of the agglomerated companies. It is necessary the articulation of collective actions to get direction and coordination to the group of companies in order to increase the competitiveness that are called governance. To contribute with this question, this paper proposes the development of a model of governance analysis and a methodology to promote the competitive insertion of clusters in global value chains. To achieve this goal the research begins with the characterization of industrial agglomerations in terms of products produced or based in a specific territory. In the sequence some aspects related to the governance of industrial agglomerations are acknowledged in order to identify the baseelements that will be used to propose a governance model. With the elements identified is proposed an initial governance analysis model. This model was preliminary applied in three mature industrial clusters that are actually inserted in global value chains. After this preliminary application, it is proposed a final governance model and a step-by-step methodology for their implementation. Finally to evaluate the applicability of the developing model and his methodology, the model is partially applied in an industrial agglomeration. In the end, based on this case study, are presented conclusions and recommendations related to the model, the methodology and the case study developed in this work.
