Abstract

Researchers have studied in depth the role of structural determinants on performance of agglomeration localized forms. However, the link between governance and performance has been neglected. The objective of this article is to fill this gap by looking at the characteristics of the governance of French clusters. The qualitative study on Arve-Industries, largely composed of small firms, sheds light on the governance members?implication as a key determinant of collective as well as individual performance. Besides, governance should adapt to the evolution of the cluster and, more specifically, go through more formalisation as the cluster grows.
