Özet

Küreselleşme çağında kümelerin rekabet kapasitesinin arttırılmasında yenilik ve tasarım iki temel kavramdır. Makalede teknoloji düzeyi, yenilik kapasitesi ve tasarım kapasitesinin firma özelliklerine göre nasıl farklılaştığı ele alınmaktadır. Bu çerçevede, İstanbul'da 346 kuyumculuk üretim firması yetkilisi ile firma yapısı, firmaların yenilik faaliyetleri ve tasarım faaliyetlerine ilişkin üç temel soru gurubundan oluşan görüşmeler gerçekleştirilmiştir. Alan araştırması bulguları yenilik ve tasarım kapasitesinin firma özelliklerine göre farklılaştığını ortaya koymaktadır. Ayrıca makale firmaların yenilik ve tasarım kapasitesi arasında pozitif anlamlı bir ilişkinin olduğunu göstermektedir. Sonuç olarak, İstanbul kuyumculuk kümesinde teknoloji düzeyi, yenilik, tasarım arasındaki ilişki özetlenirken, rekabet gücünün temel bileşenleri olan bu alanların geliştirilmesinde rol üstlenecek küme politikaları tartışılmaktadır.
