Özet

Many researchers have studied the ability of clusters to promote innovation, regional economic development, and national prosperity; however, these studies had been mostly conducted at the cluster level, not at the firm level. This study attempts to bring the cluster discourse back to the firm by answering the following research question: how do firms create and defend competitive advantages through clusters? The theoretical model presumes positive relationships between several constructs and firm performance, namely, business ties, support ties, entrepreneurial orientation and strategic learning capability. Furthermore, these relationships are supposed to be enhanced by the moderating effect of the cluster construct. The Partial Least Squares path model analysis of data from 160 surveyed firms located in nine Turkish clusters revealed that only entrepreneurial orientation and support ties contributed significantly and positively to firm performance.

Abstract

Birçok araştırmacı kümelenmelerin inovasyona, bölgesel ekonomik gelişmeye ve milli refaha katkı yapma yetisini araştırmış, ancak bu çalışmalar çoğunlukla firma seviyesinde değil, kümelenme seviyesinde yürütülmüştür. Bu nedenle, bu çalışma firmaların kümelenmeler vasıtasıyla nasıl rekabetçi avantaj yarattıkları ve bunu nasıl savundukları sorusuna cevap aramış ve kümelenme ile ilgili söylemi tekrar firma seviyesine getirmeye çalışmıştır. Teorik model birçok değişken ve firma performansı arasındaki pozitif ilişkiler öngörmektedir; bu değişkenler iş bağlantıları, destek bağlantıları, girişimci yönelim ve stratejik öğrenme yetisidir. Ayrıca, bu ilişkilerin kümelenmenin moderatör etkisi nedeniyle daha artacağı varsayılmıştır. Dokuz Türk kümelenmesinde yer alan ve anket yollanmış 160 firmadan elde edilen verilerin PLS modeli analizi sonucunda, sadece girişimci yönelim ve destek bağlantılarının firma performansını anlamlı ve pozitif şekilde etkilediği bulunmuştur.
