The Effect of Business Clustering on Scale Efficiency

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

This paper examines the impact of an organised and natural cluster on the scale efficiency of firms in the engineering industry. Three groups of firms were included in the research. The first group consisted of member firms of the Czech Machinery Cluster, representing one of the oldest organised clusters in the Czech Republic. In the second group, firms of the natural cluster were represented. These companies operate in the same industry and the same region as the Czech Machinery Cluster but are not members of it. The third control group represents machinery firms from other regions of the Czech Republic. Scale efficiency was examined using CRS and VRS DEA models for the period 2009 to 2019. The results showed that firms achieved the best scale efficiency in the cluster organisation. Member firms of this organised cluster operate under constant or increasing returns to scale. On the contrary, there was no significant difference in scale efficiency between firms in the natural cluster and other firms. Firms in these two clusters predominantly operate under conditions of decreasing returns to scale, i.e. they do not use their inputs efficiently enough.
