    Esta investigación examina los elementos comunes que podemos encontrar en los resultados a nivel nacional derivados de los clusters. Existen 7 elementos comunes de impacto del clúster, en concreto: (1) economías de aglomeración; (2) fugas de conocimiento; (3) aumentos de productividad y eficiencia; (4) impacto positivo en la operación; (5) impacto económico; (6) impacto sociopolítico; y, por último, pero no menos importante, (7) los impactos sobre la competitividad. Este documento utiliza radares para comparar los casos de la República Popular China (RPC) y Méjico. A partir de estos radares, podemos inferir nuevas perspectivas para las autoridades responsables de la toma de decisiones; por ejemplo, recomendamos una política de clusters para Méjico.

    This research examines the common elements that we can find in the outcomes at a national level resulting from clusters. There are 7 common elements of cluster impact, namely: (1) agglomeration economies; (2) knowledge spillovers; (3) increases in productivity and efficiency; (4) positive impact in the operation; (5) economic impact; (6) sociopolitical impact; and, last but not least, (7) impacts on competitiveness. This paper uses radars to compare the cases of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) and Mexico. From theses radars we can infer insights for decision makers. For instance, we recommend a cluster policy for Mexico.

    Esta investigação estuda os elementos comuns que podemos encontrar nos resultados a nível nacional resultantes de clusters.

    Existem 7 elementos comuns no impacto dos clusters, nomeadamente: (1) economias de aglomeração; (2) transferências de conhecimento; (3) aumento da produtividade e eficiência; (4) impacto positivo nas operações; (5) impacto económico; (6) impacto sociopolítico; e, por último, mas não menos importante, (7) impactos na competitividade. Este estudo utiliza radares para comparar os casos da República Popular da China (RPC) e do México. A partir destes radares, podemos inferir conclusões para os responsáveis pela tomada de decisões. Por exemplo, recomendamos uma política de clusters para o México.
