Le concept de cluster a été récemment soumis à des critiques, légitimes, mettant en question ses fondements théoriques, sa validité empirique et ses implications en termes de politique publique. L’article défend ce concept en tant qu’il autorise une approche unifiée des différents éléments qui interviennent dans le processus toujours changeant de l’innovation. Il souligne les changements qui touchent la légitimation des clusters, qui passent d’un concept avant tout lié aux liaisons matérielles et aux effets d’agglomération à concept d’institution qui soutient l’apprentissage inter-organisationnel et le partage de la connaissance. Des arguments sont avancés, dans une approche économique évolutionniste et institutionnaliste, qui mettent l’accent sur le caractère particulier des clusters en tant que forme de gouvernance rendant possible la création et la diffusion de la connaissance dans des réseaux et entre eux. En tant qu’institutions, les clusters évoluent conjointement avec les nouvelles technologies et révèlent une variété interne et externe. |

Despite legitimate recent criticisms concerning the theoretical foundation, the empirical validity and the policy implications of the cluster concept the paper takes the concept as a unifying approach for important elements for the changing character of the innovation process. It outlines the changing legitimization of clusters from a predominantly material linkage and agglomeration based concept to an institution that supports learning between organizations and the sharing of knowledge. In the context of evolutionary and institutional economics arguments are developed that emphasize the specific character of clusters as a form of governance enabling the generation and diffusion of knowledge within and between networks. As institutions they are co-evolving with new technologies and reveal both internal and external variety. |
