Abstract

Este documento es producto de una investigación realizada en la industria del cuero, calzado y afines en Bogotá D.C, y busca describir las dinámicas de acumulación de conocimiento, innovación y competitividad en la concentración empresarial ubicada en el Barrio Restrepo. A partir de la revisión de literatura que da cuenta de estudios realizados tanto en países de la región como en algunos países desarrollados, de la información obtenida en entrevistas realizadas a los representantes de las asociaciones de la aglomeración y de la aplicación de encuestas a un grupo de empresarios pertenecientes a la misma, se encontró que contrario a lo que tradicionalmente se cree, ésta no ostenta la calidad de cluster maduro, dado que existen diferentes factores que inciden en la eficiencia colectiva y que afectan las dinámicas de acumulación de conocimiento, innovación y competitividad de la concentración de empresas. Dichos factores están asociados especialmente a la cultura de los empresarios, a las características propias de la actividad económica y a condiciones políticas, sociales, económicas e institucionales del entorno.
