Influence of Selected Cluster on the Financial Performance of Member Business Entities
Original language description
The paper addresses the issue of cluster performance evaluation. Despite all the benefits offered by cluster groupings, this concept is still rather new under the conditions existing in the Czech Republic and the impact of the concept of clusters on member entities’ performance has not been quantified fully objectively. The aim of the present paper is to present the results of a case study focusing on the application of the EVA method to evaluate the financial performance of members of a selected cluster and to verify the assumption that business entities’ membership in the cluster is reflected in increasing their financial performance in a time series. The research sample included a cluster with at least a 5-year history – given the availability of financial statements, the 2009–2014 period has been selected. This case study was prepared for the cluster entitled Clutex – Cluster of Technical Textiles that meets the above condition. The results of the research show that the expected positive effect of business entities’ membership in the Clutex cluster on their financial performance has not been confirmed. The conclusion discusses possible causes of this finding.
