Inter-Branch Comparison of Cluster Company Performance Using Malmquist Index

Original language description

The article evaluates the differences between the financial performance of clustered companies in two sectors for the period of 2009-2016. The first sample consists of 16 member companies that form the core CLUTEX cluster of technical textiles. The second sample includes 22 subjects representing NANOPROGRESS - cluster core of nanotechnology. Financial performance development was analyzed using the Adjacent Malmquist Index based on window scores. Window score values were obtained using Data Envelopment Analysis. Staff number, total assets and a long-term capital were used as model inputs. The economic value added was the model output. For each sample, the Malmquist Index and its components were determined - technical efficiency change and technological change. For scale efficiency, models with both constant and variable returns to scale were applied. The results of the analysis show that the average annual growth in company performance in the nanotechnology cluster is significantly higher than in the case of the textile cluster. However, the fact that the growth of performance is driven by technological change, that is to say, innovation, is a positive factor for the existence of a textile cluster. In the nanotechnology cluster, the main source of performance growth is the improvement of internal technical efficiency.
