Not all display correctly in all that done by the entrepreneur, business, business, very often they do, they give some errors, that those who have studied have revealed, in addition to others that our professional experience has been collected. In the letter, collected more frequently, so those interested in these items were taken into account, and help others avoid that this is not to.

Several models have been implemented and a successful outcome. To consider the implementation of the cluster at the regional level we must first of all, understand what cluster.

The basic concept of Cluster is based on several corporate strategic alliances “to work as a team” for the common good of all. These organizations maintain their corporate structures, tax and legal, is does not alter their status. No need to be a branch of the same product, but whether they should or complementary products. The goal is to create, using internal or external catalyst, how to utilize the available resources, minimizing waste and cost to meet competition.

In fact, in recent years has been completely agreed to the post-industrial economy, with rapidly moving from an economy based on manufacturing and goods, which provide maximum value to information, services, support and distribution. This change favors, for its part, the so-called knowledge workers, a new class of highly educated people, wealth and mobility, which is considered free agent market. Be appropriate, then, in a knowledge-based economy, a concept which was then examined.

Faced with this reality share the views expressed by eumed.net that companies that are part of the cluster benefit by being able to act more productively in the provision of inputs, have better access to information and technology, collectively to be able to create the institutions necessary to support all efforts of the cluster. Also part of the cluster “” their interest in coordinating with related companies and is a mechanism for measuring and motivating improvement compared to other member firms of the cluster “.”

It should be noted that there are five elements of the cluster “” that contribute to increased productivity of the company members:

Increased access to skilled labor, suppliers and related services

Reduced costs for recruitment into the pool of workers to serve all companies in the cluster, creating greater stability of the workers in the cluster, which, in turn, improve labor productivity. In addition, the “cluster” to include the group of companies, creates conditions to develop attractive suppliers from the group of companies. With this, the local supply of inputs and services to an additional advantage of the cluster, compared with distant foreign supply or increase in the company’s vertical integration, in the case of non-existence of local industrial suppliers and complementary support services, such as maintenance, calibration equipment, among others.

Access to information specialists

Personal relationships between employees of different member companies of the cluster to facilitate the flow of market information and technology, among others, provide cluster members’ “special access to it, once again reducing transaction costs and creates the possibility to create an environment of constant innovation and exchange of relevant information among various members of the cluster.

Complementarily

Improving linkages and interdependencies among the various members of the cluster causes synergy between members, aims to improve the competitiveness of the company because of competitiveness, said the company provides maintenance services for machinery and equipment. Important complement to other marketing, producing clusters “” to attract customers for companies in the cluster.

Access to institutions and public goods

The fact that there is a critical mass of companies leads to governments and institutions to develop, such as training programs, and training that benefits all firms in the same cluster. Likewise, the groups can lead to joint investment company to improve, also together, the competitiveness of all companies participating in the clusters; generate positive externalities for all existing and potential businesses to participate in the cluster. “

Motivation and better performance measurement

Location of a firm within the cluster to provide direct access comparisons with competitors, which, in turn, have the same relationship to the material and equipment suppliers with complementary service providers, and even the staff who have worked at other companies. All of these relationships expose a lot of companies and put them in situations easy comparison with best practice.

In the particular case of SMEs, I have to consider the difficulties inherent in small size, as can be for accessing external financial sources of the same from major corporations, and even more importantly, access to appropriate information sources to make the right decisions. For these companies, cooperation with others of the same size or larger will be designated as a strategic alternative that allows them to utilize their competitive advantages associated companies, whether horizontal and vertical agreements. If this agreement is made between a large number of firms, weaving a web of relationships that are bound to create a compact network.Interorganizational networks develop are usually limited to specific geographic regions, forming groups.

Do not forget the management of clusters of SMEs that the main requirements are:

Privilege, independence, zoning, segregation, foreign investment. On that last note that although not essential, foreign investment in the form of technology and equipment necessary in two respects: First, to enter the country of advanced technology, equipment and facilities necessary for development Cluster; second, the safeties of the products and / or services exported. This can affect bilateral contracts entered into contracts with third parties and ensuring results.
