Abstract

Sanchez Moral S. Industrial clusters and new firm creation in the manufacturing sector of Madrid's metropolitan region, Regional Studies. In Madrid, as in other metropolitan regions, the interest in the agglomeration of economic activities, along with the present perspectives of metropolitan competitiveness and the emerging knowledge-based economy, converge on the field of industrial clusters. This paper follows the current recommendations about combining mapping strategies. Firstly, with a quantitative identification of industrial complexes in the region, considering as an initial hypothesis the existence of significant input-output relationships among co-located industries. Secondly, the qualitative information from politically selected clusters was used to refine the quantitative cluster identification and to evaluate the creation of new firms within Madrid's manufacturing clusters.

A Madrid, comme dans d'autres metropoles regionales, l'interet dans l'agglomeration d'activites economiques, associe aux perspectives actuelles de competitivite metropolitaine ainsi qu'a l'emergence d'une economie basee sur le savoir, converge vers la creation de grappes industrielles. Dans cet article, nous suivons les recommandations actuelles visant a combiner des strategies de cartographie, premierement, avec une identification quantitative des complexes industriels de la region, considerant comme hypothese initiale l'existence de relations importantes entre les entrees et sorties au sein des entreprises regroupees. Deuxiemement, l'information qualitative de grappes selectionnees a servi a affiner l'identification quantitative des grappes industrielles et a evaluer la creation de nouvelles entreprises au sein des grappes industrielles du secteur manufacturier de Madrid. Grappes industrielles Complexes industriels Nouvelles industries Madrid Sanchez Moral S. Branchencluster und Firmengrundungen im produzierenden Sektor der Metropolregion von Madrid, Regional Studies. In Madrid und anderen Metropolregionen konvergieren das Interesse an der Agglomeration von Wirtschaftstatigkeiten und die gegenwartigen Perspektiven hinsichtlich der metropolitanen Wettbewerbsfahigkeit und der entstehenden wissensbasierten Okonomie im Bereich der industriellen Cluster. In diesem Beitrag folgen wir den aktuellen Empfehlungen zur Kombination von Abbildungsstrategien. Zunachst nehmen wir hierfur eine quantitative Identifizierung der Industriekomplexe in der Region vor und gehen als Eingangshypothese von der Existenz signifikanter Input-Output-Beziehungen zwischen Branchen mit gemeinsamem Standort aus. Anschliessend nutzen wir die qualitativen Informationen von politisch ausgewahlten Clustern zur Verfeinerung der quantitativen Cluster-Identifizierung und zur Bewertung von Firmenneugrundungen innerhalb der produzierenden Cluster von Madrid. Branchencluster Branchenkomplexe Neue Branchen Madrid Sanchez Moral S. Clusters industriales y creacion de nuevas industrias en el sector manufacturero de la region metropolitana de Madrid, Regional Studies. Como en otras regiones metropolitanas, el interes en Madrid por las cuestiones de la aglomeracion de las actividades economicas, la competitividad metropolitana y la emergencia de una economia del conocimiento converge en el campo de estudio de los clusters industriales. En este articulo seguimos las ultimas recomendaciones acerca de la necesidad de combinar diferentes estrategias para su identificacion ('cluster mapping strategies'). Primero, con la identificacion cuantitativa de complejos-industriales en la region, aceptando como hipotesis inicial la existencia de relaciones input-output entre industrias co-localizadas. Segundo, la informacion cualitativa de algunos clusters seleccionados en el pasado segun criterios politicos, es utilizada para refinar el analisis cuantitativo y para evaluar la creacion de nuevas industrias dentro de los clusters industriales de Madrid.
