The Cluster Effect on the Performance of Member Enterprises

Original language description

This article deals with research into the effects of an enterprise’s membership in a cluster on their financial performance. The research was conducted on three research samples. The first sample was composed of enterprises in Clutex, a cluster of technical textiles, which arose as a result of a cluster initiative in 2006. It was also one of the projects from the Operational Programme Industry and Enterprise. Enterprises that create the core of the cluster do business in industries with the following statistical classifications: NACE 13200, 13900 and 14100. The second research sample was composed of enterprises in a natural textile cluster that exists within the territories of the Liberec, Hradec Králové and Pardubice Regions (they together form the North-East Cohesion Region). The third research sample was composed of enterprises doing business in the same industries, but outside the North-East Cohesion Region. ROE indicators and indicators based on economic value added were used as criteria for assessing financial performance. The research was based on 2014 data. The research was targeted at verifying the hypothesis that enterprises in the Clutex cluster reach higher performance than enterprises in the natural cluster. And further, by analogy, that enterprises in the natural cluster are more successful than enterprises in the same industry, but doing business in other regions. However, the results of the research did not confirm the expected positive effect of the existence of clusters (institutionalized or natural) on enterprise performance. The concluding section of the report deals with the possible causes of this finding.
