Abstract
The presented article is based on research evaluating the impact of cluster organisations on the financial performance of member entities. The author’s doctoral thesis examines whether there is a difference in the financial performance of cluster organisations created through the bottom-up and the top-down approaches, under the conditions existing in the Czech Republic. Both types of clusters that meet the condition of maturity (established before or in 2012) and of a high degree of activity were selected for the research. The financial performance of member business entities was assessed using the following indicators: ROA, ROE, ROS, EVA, EVA/employee and EVA/sales. The aim of the research was to demonstrate whether public support for clusters would be reflected in member entities’ better financial performance. The final part of the paper then summarises and discusses the findings.
