La cooperación entre firmas en el desarrollo regional: una revisión

Contenido principal del artículo

Resumen

El estudio de la cooperación entre empresas dentro del campo del desarrollo económico tiene una amplia trayectoria en el área del desarrollo regional. El presente trabajo realiza una revisión de literatura sobre el papel de la cooperación entre firmas dentro de las experiencias de desarrollo regional. Se incluyeron trabajos que, mediante la revisión de casos empíricos, identificaban los factores que determinen por qué en algunos casos emergen relaciones de cooperación entre firmas mientras que, en otros, no. Se encontraron varias similitudes en las dimensiones estudiadas: las condiciones que ofrecen las aglomeraciones para la interacción repetida entre las firmas, la necesidad de mecanismos de gobernanza para evitar comportamientos oportunistas, la institucionalización de la cooperación, el efecto de factores externos a la región sobre la continuidad de los procesos de cooperación. También se identificó un énfasis en los procesos de aprendizaje, diseminación de conocimiento e innovación que ocurren en las configuraciones industriales observadas usualmente en los clústeres, distritos industriales o regiondimensiones:, se resume, el papel de la cooperación en el desarrollo regional en cuatro dimensiones principales: 1) la organización industrial de los distritos industriales, clústeres y regiones; 2) el equilibrio entre procesos de cooperación y competencia; 3) la gobernanza y la construcción de relaciones de confianza y reciprocidad; y 4) el efecto de factores externos sobre la cooperación entre firmas, volviendo a estas relaciones dinámicas.
