Abstract

Abstract Within the cluster literature, few studies have analyzed the potential dangers of regional economic overspecialization. The lock-in effect is frequently mentioned to describe the decline of a cluster, but few studies have actually tested such arguments. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the impacts of the lock-in effect on the evolutionary trajectory of the Vale dos Sinos-Paranhana footwear cluster. To this end, we conducted interviews with industries and representatives institutions, to analyze how productive and cognitive inertia, the absence of innovative startups and the static entrepreneurial model adopted by local agents limited the acquisition and recombination of new knowledge within the cluster, making it a rigid and uncompetitive structure.

轨迹依赖、锁定效应与产业集群衰退——以西诺斯-帕拉纳山谷鞋业集群为例

摘要在集群文献中，很少有研究分析区域经济过度专业化的潜在危险。锁定效应经常被用来描述集群的衰落，但很少有研究真正检验过这种论点。本文的目的是分析锁定效应对Vale dos Sinos Paranhana鞋类集群进化轨迹的影响。为此，我们对行业和代表机构进行了采访，分析了生产力和认知惯性、创新创业公司的缺乏以及当地代理商采用的静态创业模式如何限制了集群内新知识的获取和重组，使其成为一个僵化且无竞争力的结构。
