Abstract
Abstract From the 1980s onwards, a more significant development occurred in places where industrial agglomerates were installed. Focusing on factors that form the dimensions of local development may reveal actions that help to define improvement strategies for the regions. This study shows how factors — by the relations/interactions between the actors participating in clusters — interfere in the local development, considering the environmental, cultural, economic, spatial, institutional, political, and social dimensions. We chose a qualitative study, multi cases and content analysis. We identified aspects of the scope of each dimension and revealed a universe of factors that interfere in the local development in the clusters. The main "catalysts" and potential disseminators of actions promoting development were the Cooperation and Collectivity factor and the institutional dimension.
Highlights
Between 1900 and 1950, companies were utterly vertical, used the mass production system, and had “disproportionate” structures
Several studies have proposed an association between local development and the presence of clusters (Isbasoiu, 2007; Lastres & Ferraz, 1999; Oliveira & Martinelli, 2014b; Sforzi & Boix, 2015)
We aimed to study the relationships and interactions between the actors participating in the clusters/APL — how the factors interfere with local development, considering the environmental, cultural, economic, spatial, institutional, political, and social dimensions
Summary
Between 1900 and 1950 (the Classical Industrial Era), companies were utterly vertical, used the mass production system, and had “disproportionate” structures.
