Hendry C. and Brown J. (2006) Dynamics of clustering and performance in the UK opto-electronics industry, Regional Studies 40, 707–725. The spatial ‘clustering’ of firms, resources, and infrastructure is seen as having significant benefits for individual enterprises and regions. This proposition is tested through a survey of an under-researched sector, the UK opto-electronics industry, where a number of clusters exist. Analysis at the company and regional levels shows that clustering confers no particular performance benefits when comparisons are made with companies not in clusters. An analysis of the networking dynamics reveals that markets and life-cycle effects are more significant factors affecting performance. Hendry C. et Brown J. (2006) La dynamique du regroupement et de la performance dans l'industrie de l'optoélectronique au R-U, Regional Studies 40, 707–725. On considère que le ‘regroupement’ géographique des entreprises, des ressources, et de l'infrastructure a des avantages non-négligeables pour des entreprises et des régions individuelles. On cherche à tester cette proposition à partir d'une enquête auprès d'un secteur peu recherché, à savoir l'industrie de l'optoélectronique au R-U, qui se caractérise par la présence d'un nombre de regroupements. Une analyse au niveau des entreprises et sur le plan régional montre que le regroupement n'assure aucun avantage particulier en termes de la performance par rapport aux entreprises qui ne sont pas regroupées. Une analyse de la dynamique qui conduit la constitution de réseaux montre que le marché et l'impact du cycle de vie s'avèrent des déterminants plus importants de la performance. Regroupements Performance Optoélectronique R-U Dynamique Hendry C. und Brown J. (2006) Die Dynamik der Clusterbildung und Leistung in der opto-elektronischen Industrie des UK, Regional Studies 40, 707–725. Die räumliche Clusterbildung von Firmen, Mitteln und Infrastruktur wird als vorteilhaft für einzelne Betriebe und ganze Regionen angesehen. Diese These wird mit Hilfe einer Untersuchung des von der Forschung nur wenig beachteten Sektors, der opto-elektronischen Industrie des UK, in dem eine ganze Anzahl derartiger Cluster bestehen, geprüft. Auf Firmen-und Regionalebene durchgeführte Analysen zeigen, daß Clusterbildung im Vergleich mit nicht in Cluster eingebundenen Firmen keine besonderen Leistungsvorteile verleiht. Eine Analyse der Netzwerkdynamik läßt erkennen, daß Märkte und Auswirkungen des Lebenszyklus bedeutendere, die Leistung beeinflussende, Faktoren darstellen. Cluster Leistung Opto-Elektronik UK Dynamik Hendry C. y Brown J. (2006) Dinámicas de aglomeración y rendimiento en la industria británica de optoelectrónica, Regional Studies 40, 707–725. Se cree que la ‘aglomeración’ espacial de sociedades, recursos e infraestructura genera unos beneficios importantes a las empresas individuales y las regiones. Esta proposición la comprobamos a través de un estudio de un sector poco investigado, la industria británica de optoelectrónica donde existe una serie de aglomeraciones. Los análisis de las empresas y regiones muestran que la aglomeración no genera beneficios especiales de rendimiento comparado con empresas no aglomeradas. Un análisis a las dinámicas de redes pone de manifiesto que los mercados y efectos del ciclo de vida son factores más significativos que afectan al rendimiento.
