Effect of Cluster Initiatives and Natural Clusters on Business Performance
Original language description
This study aims to determine how much company participation in a type of cluster affects its economic performance. The study includes companies operating in seven industries (automotive, engineering, textiles, IT services, furniture, packaging and nanotechnology) in the Czech Republic. The companies are divided into three groups: members of institutionalized cluster, operating in the same region (natural clusters), and operating in other regions. Data Envelopment Window Analysis is used to measure their performance for 2009–2019. Results show that the effect of clustering differs among industries. Companies in three industries (automotive, engineering, nanotechnology) reveal a positive impact of the cluster initiative on performance growth. Two industries (textile, packaging) with companies operating in a natural cluster show better performance than those in an institutionalized cluster. Moreover, the IT services and the furniture industries show no positive effect of clustering on corporate performance.
