Abstract

Popularność pojęcia klaster znacznie przerosła wiedzę o tym zjawisku. Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie tego fenomenu gospodarczego, zgodnie z definicją zaproponowaną przez twórcę koncepcji klastra – Michaela Portera. W artykule przywołano przykłady definicji klastra pochodzące z różnych prac badaczy tego zjawiska i skomentowano zgodność tych definicji ze źródłami. Rozważania o relacjach w środowisku klastrowym, przyczynach powstawania i dynamice rozwoju klastra, służą lepszemu zrozumieniu istoty tego zjawiska. Opierając się na metodzie pogłębionych krytycznych studiów literaturowych, autor przedstawia podstawowe elementy koncepcji klastra Michaela E. Portera, a także jej zalety, polegające na elastyczności jej stosowania i wykorzystania przy tworzeniu strategii rozwoju gospodarczego. Ta elastyczność stwarza jednak problemy związane z wychodzeniem poza ramy wyznaczone przez jej twórcę. Mnogość definicji i metod identyfikacji klastrów daje duże możliwości ich stosowania, lecz także duże problemy standaryzacyjne. Wzrost popularności klastrów wynika z tego, że są one coraz ważniejszym instrumentem stymulacji rozwoju gospodarczego, konieczne jest więc uporządkowanie chaosu, który wkradł się do stosowania koncepcji klastrów przez nadużycie jej elastyczności. Artykuł jest próbą uporządkowania dyskusji o klastrze, przez wskazanie w jego definicji najistotniejszych cech, z których wynika, że jest to samoistnie powstające w gospodarce zjawisko.
