Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo analisar a relação entre fluxo de conhecimento, o lock-in e o estágio do ciclo de vida de um cluster. Para tanto, o Cluster Calçadista do Vale dos Sinos-Paranhana no Rio Grande do Sul foi escolhido como objeto de estudo. Os resultados apontam que o cluster é pouco colaborativo e inovativo. O cluster ainda é reconhecido como um grande produtor de calçados, mas a própria identidade das pessoas com o cluster está se perdendo. A cultura local não promove a difusão do conhecimento, uma vez que as empresas são fechadas. Esta pesquisa contribui com a compreensão de como os clusters se desenvolvem, para tanto, o fluxo de conhecimento terá um papel central na renovação do cluster. Como implicação prática, a consciência das dificuldades e dos mecanismos necessários para renovar um cluster são importantes para que seja possível trabalhar as políticas setoriais e de cluster. Como contribuição teórica, o estudo reforça que a falta de novos conhecimentos influencia o aprisionamento, o qual é decorrente da dependência de trajetória, levando-o ao declínio. This paper aims at analyzing the stages of the lifecycle of clusters, based on four dimensions: diffusion of knowledge in the cluster, competitive advantage, structure of cluster and policies for clusters. For that, the Footwear Cluster of Vale dos SinosParanhana in Rio Grande do Sul was chosen as a study object. The results point out that the cluster is little collaborative and little innovative. The cluster is still recognized as a great footwear producer, but the own identity of the people with the cluster is being lost. The local culture does not promote the diffusion of knowledge due the companies are closed. This research contributes with the comprehension of how the clusters develop, for this purpose, the flow of knowledge will have a central role in the renewal of the cluster. As a practical implication, the awareness of the difficulties and the necessary mechanisms to renovate a cluster are important so that it is possible to work on sectoral policies and of cluster. As theoretical contribution, the study reinforces that the lack of new knowledge influences the imprisonment, resulting from its dependent trajectory, leading it to the decline.

Purpose Requalification of neglected areas in urban contexts is considered as one of the main challenges for smart cities. Business clusters stand out as mechanisms of innovation for not only the clustered firms but also the territory in which they are located. However, the cluster emergence process is complex and still unknown. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the orchestration process in the emergence of a cluster of innovation (CoI). Design/methodology/approach This study is a qualitative exploratory research in Porto Alegre, a State capital in Southern Brazil, in the region known as 4th District. Data were collected through documentary research, non-participant observation and face-to-face in-depth interviews. Findings Results indicate the importance of alignment among network members, possible difficulties caused by members’ heterogeneity and the need to disseminate information and interaction for the appropriability of knowledge and innovation in the emergence process of CoI. Coordination of actions and joint agenda as facilitators for the construction of a cluster identity emerge as crucial important. Besides, results also highlight that the entrepreneurial process and the perspective of global strategy are essential to build competitive advantage to the region. Research limitations/implications This paper brings a theoretical and managerial contribution to the application of the concept of orchestration to emergence of a CoI. The framework presents network components, orchestration components and the drivers to emergence of a CoI. Originality/value This study proposes a framework to link the orchestration process to the emergence of a CoI. The proposed framework could help policymakers and other actors to enhance the impact of a cluster on the development of the region.

General Materials Science - Abstract
Clusters têm sido objeto de pesquisa durante décadas devido as vantagens competitivas locais que impulsionam o desenvolvimento regional. Entretanto, grande parte dos estudos desconsideraram o desenvolvimento de suas estruturas ao longo do tempo. Recentemente, acadêmicos passaram a desenvolver abordagens dinâmicas que conseguissem explicar os padrões de desenvolvimento dos clusters. A resiliência de cluster é um constructo utilizado para entender como os cluster adaptam as suas estruturas a fim de superar choques, entretanto ainda é um conceito bastante embrionário. O objetivo deste artigo é analisar a resiliência econômica dos clusters, buscando identificar os principais elementos que impactam na sua capacidade de resistência, recuperação e adaptação após um choque externo. Para tanto, foi desenvolvido um framework teórico baseado nos recentes avanços da literatura de geografia econômica evolucionária. Como principais contribuições, este artigo redefiniu resiliência de cluster e seus principais elementos.
