Abstract

GANZERT, C. C. Systemic Development of Information Technology Regional Poles: Comparative Analysis of National and International Models of Clusters by the Perspective of the Systems Theory. 2010. 206 f. Master Thesis – Faculty of Economics, Management and Accounting of Ribeirao Preto, University of Sao Paulo, Ribeirao Preto, 2010. This research is justified by the economic relevance of the regional productive arrangements for the informational capital, and analyses the development’s model of four regional information technology poles, Silicon Valley (California), Bangalore (India), Sao Carlos and Campinas (Brazil). The research was developed using the qualitative multiple cross-case analysis methodology and the results were compared with the ideal model of systemic development. The conclusion signalizes the low incidence of entrepreneurship elements in the Brazilian organizational culture, which corroborates to the formation of mono-nucleated models of relations among the national clusters’ agents, contrasting to the international clusters, which have multi-nucleated models of relations among their agents, closer to the systemic development premises. Key-words: Regional Development, Technological Poles, Information Technology, Production Arrangements, Technological Clusters, Technological Parks.
