Abstract

Desde los anos noventa, a raíz de los aportes de Porter (1991), el tema de los clusters se ha constituido en un objeto de análisis y en un mecanismo de política pública para mejorar la competitividad y el desarrollo económico de los territorios. Lo anterior supondría una mayor competitividad para aquellas empresas que trabajan bajo esquemas de aglomeración territorial con el apoyo de instituciones de interfase que para aquellas que operan de manera aislada. Así, las empresas que lograrían tener desempenos superiores serían las que al mismo tiempo podrían cooperar y competir. A tenor de esto, el artículo busca, entre otros aspectos, conjeturar en torno a cómo en una situación contradictoria, dos o más organizaciones empresariales pueden tejer o no relaciones de confianza y construir relaciones de cohesión donde se convive en medio de interacciones de complementariedad y antagonismo, así como establecer cómo se enfrenta en estas asociaciones productivas los procesos de cambio. La perspectiva que se asume en este artículo busca integrar los planteamientos esenciales de la llamada escuela del posicionamiento estratégico con la teoríadel cambio y la teoría de la confianza. Para ello, éste se estructuró en torno a cuatro interrogantes: ¿qué es un cluster?, ¿cuáles son los factores económicos y estratégicos que posibilitan los clusters?, ¿cuál es el rol que tiene el cambio en el posicionamiento estratégico de los clusters? y ¿cuál es el papel que desempena la confianza en la conformación y desarrollo de los clusters
