Abstract

[Einleitung] Cluster als räumliche Agglomerationen von Unternehmen derselben Branche sind keine Modeerscheinung, auch wenn sie seit der Entwicklung des Cluster Approach durch Michael Porter in den 1990er Jahren vermehrt große wissenschaftliche und politische Aufmerksamkeit auf sich ziehen. Bereits Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts erkannte und analysierte Alfred Marshall dieses Phänomen unter dem Begriff Industrial Districts. Insbesondere der Einsatz von Innovationsclustern als Instrument zur Steigerung der Innovationsfähigkeit und somit der Wettbewerbsfähigkeit der Wirtschaft in hoch entwickelten Regionen liegt im Fokus des Interesses. Innovationsaktivitäten werden durch die Kooperation und eine intensive Kommunikation der Clustermitglieder (z. B. große Unternehmen, kleine und mittlere Unternehmen (KMU), Forschungsinstitute, Venture Capital Firmen und Ausbildungsorganisationen) gefördert. Hierdurch werden der Transfer und die Kombination bestehenden Wissens sowie die Generierung neuen Wissens angeregt. Das Management von Clustern zur Nutzung dieser Potenziale wird dabei häufig vernachlässigt. Die vorliegende Arbeit analysiert die operative Clusterführung, die dazu beiträgt, die Stärken dieser Organisationsform effektiv zu nutzen. Ziel ist es, Ausgestaltungsmöglichkeiten aufzuzeigen und theoretisch zu analysieren. Dazu wird in Kapitel 2 zunächst der Clusterbegriff abgegrenzt und eine grundlegende Systematisierung des Clustermanagements eingeführt. Anschließend werden in Kapitel 3 die verschiedenen Elemente der operativen Clusterführung untersucht. Hierzu zählen die Finanzierung des Clusters, Clusterservices als Dienstleistungsangebote des Clustermanagements für die Mitglieder, das Wissensmanagement und die Regulierungsfunktion des Clustermanagements. In Kapitel 4 schließt die Arbeit mit einem Fazit und einer Darstellung des weiteren Forschungsbedarfs.
