INTRODUCTION:

LOCAL CLUSTER CHARACTERIZED BY HIGH LEVELS OF EFFICIENCY, PROFITS, PRODUCTQUALITY AND SUSTAINABILITY; REPRESENT A WAY FOR CREATING ECONOMIC AND SOCIALVALUE (SHARED VALUE ) (PORTER & KRAMER, 2011).

PUBLIC POLICIES FOCUS ON THE CREATION OR DEVELOPMENT OF CLUSTERS SHOULDCONSIDER THE INDUSTRIAL STRUCTURE OF CLUSTERS TO PROMOTE THE CO-LOCATION OFINDUSTRIES AND THE INTEGRATION TO (GLOBAL) VALUE CHAINS.

RESEARCH OBJECTIVE:

THIS RESEARCH PROPOSES THE CO-LOCATION QUOTIENT (CLQ) DEVELOPED BY LESLIE ANDKRONENFELD (2011) FOR THE IDENTIFICATION OF CO-LOCATION PATTERNS IN INDUSTRIALCLUSTERS.

RELEVANCE OF THE RESEARCH:1) THIS TECHNIQUE IS USEFUL FOR DISCRIMINATING BETWEEN INDUSTRIES RANDOMLYLOCATED AROUND A SPECIFIC INDUSTRY, AND THOSE INDUSTRIES WITH CO-LOCATIONPATTERS.

2) THE TECHNIQUE MAY PERMIT THE IDENTIFICATION OF CLUSTERS ACCORDING TO THEIRDEGREE OF MATURITY WHICH MAY RESULT IN SPECIFIC PUBLIC POLICES FOR SUPPORTINGTHE COLOCATION OF FIRMS AMONG RELEVANT INDUSTRIES.

THE CASE: LOCATING CLUSTERS IN MEXICO

DATA: USING SPATIALLY REFERENCED DATA AVAILABLE AT A FIRM LEVEL AS AN INFORMATIONSOURCE, OBTAINED FROM THE NATIONAL DIRECTORY OF STATISTICALLY ECONOMIC UNITS (DENUE)BY THE NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF STATISTICS AND GEOGRAPHY (INEGI) AND THE PROMEXICO’S LIST OFFIRMS PUBLISHED IN THE MATRIX OF CAPABILITIES, PRODUCTS AND PROCESSES (2013), WHICHCONSISTS OF 259 FIRMS.

TECHNIQUE: APPLYING THE CO-LOCATION QUOTIENT (CLQ).

RESULTS: WERE IDENTIFIED FIVE DIFFERENT ENTITIES WITH CO-LOCATION: BAJA CALIFORNIA,SONORA, CHIHUAHUA, NUEVO LEON AND QUERETARO.

CONCLUSION:

THE RESULTS PERMIT TO UNDERSTAND THE INDUSTRIAL STRUCTURE OF EACH CLUSTER, ITSPRODUCTIVE VOCATION (ADDING SPECIALIZED ANALYSIS TECHNIQUES) AND MATURITYSTAGE; VALUABLE INFORMATION IN TERMS OF PP THAT ENCOURAGE THE GROWTH OFTHESE CLUSTERS.

IT IS NECESSARY TO POINT OUT THIS TECHNIQUE PROVIDES INPUTS THAT SHOULD BECOMPLEMENTED WITH BUSINESS SPECIFIC INFORMATION, RELATIVE TO PRODUCTION,NETWORKS, AND LINKS WITH THE REGIONAL ECONOMY; TO DEVELOP EFFECTIVESTRATEGIES FOR INDUSTRIAL PP IMPACTING IN ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT.
