Abstract

Neste trabalho apresenta-se uma avaliação comparativa entre as abordagens de Sistemas de Inovação e o Diamante de Porter para análise da competitividade de aglomerados e sistemas produtivos locais. Inicialmente, é feita uma revisão das abordagens mais recentes para análise de sistemas produtivos locais, regionais ou setoriais, considerando conceitos evolucionários. A seguir, as características distintivas das abordagens de Sistemas de Inovação e do Diamante de Porter são comparadas e comentadas. Em síntese, enquanto a abordagem de Sistemas de Inovação enfatiza as características de cooperação e interação entre instituições que suportam o desenvolvimento e o avanço tecnológico e organizacional, o Diamante privilegia o contexto competitivo local/setorial e os aspectos de mercado em perspectiva internacional. Ambas as abordagens consideram a infra-estrutura e os fluxos institucionais (formais e informais) como precondição fundamental para o desenvolvimento econômico. Como uma alternativa para suprir certas lacunas verificadas em ambas as abordagens na análise da competitividade em arranjos produtivos locais, sugere-se uma perspectiva evolucionária.

Translated abstract

In this work is presented a comparative evaluation between Innovation Systems and Porter's Diamond approaches for competitive analysis in Clusters and Local Productive Systems. Initially it is done a brief review of the recent approaches to regional, local and sectorial productive systems considering evolutionary technical-economic concepts. Then, the distinctive characteristics between Innovation Systems and Porter's Diamond approaches are compared and commented. In synthesis, while the Innovation System approach the characteristics of cooperation and interaction between institutions that support the development and the technological and organizacional advance, the Diamond privileges the local/setorial competitive context and the aspects of international market. However, the infra-structure and the formal and informal institutional flows are essential for the economic development on both approaches. Finally, as an alternative to suply some gaps verifyed on both approaches on the local clusters competitive analysis, an evolutionary perspective is suggested.

An Evolutionary Theory of Economic Change

Richard R. Nelson (1982)

This book contains the most sustained and serious attack on mainstream, neoclassical economics in more than forty years. Nelson and Winter focus their critique on the basic question of how firms and industries change overtime. They marshal significant objections to the fundamental neoclassical assumptions of profit maximization and market equilibrium, which they find ineffective in the analysis of technological innovation and the dynamics of competition among firms. To replace these assumptions, they borrow from biology the concept of natural selection to construct a precise and detailed evolutionary theory of business behavior. They grant that films are motivated by profit and engage in search for ways of improving profits, but they do not consider them to be profit maximizing. Likewise, they emphasize the tendency for the more profitable firms to drive the less profitable ones out of business, but they do not focus their analysis on hypothetical states of industry equilibrium. The results of their new paradigm and analytical framework are impressive. Not only have they been able to develop more coherent and powerful models of competitive firm dynamics under conditions of growth and technological change, but their approach is compatible with findings in psychology and other social sciences. Finally, their work has important implications for welfare economics and for government policy toward industry.
