group belong largely to BIS (42%), being the remains of CB=30% and BIN=27%.
Moreover, 46% of them are from transforming industry, 30% from commerce, 15%
from construction (CAE 45) and 9% from other services.
Cluster 3: groups 27 companies and it is distinguished from the previous groups for
having a high involvement in innovation activities. For this group only research and
development inside of the company is not important. In this case that we will be able to
have really innovative companies, both incremental and radical innovations. The
companies of CB (44%), BIS (30%) and BIN (26%) are part of this group basically, as
well as the transforming industry (67%) and commerce (29%).
However, we must take under consideration, relative to localization of the companies in
clusters and relative to the activities that constitute it. First, the companies of the BIN
are in cluster 1 (58%), in BIS, 45 % of the companies belong to cluster 2 and 29% to
cluster 1; in CB, 39% of the companies belong to cluster 1 and 33% to cluster 3.
Second, we can distinguish the sectors according with the cluster they belong. More
than 50% of construction and other services (the commerce is exclude) belong to cluster
2. The commerce is distributed: 36% for cluster 1 and 36% for cluster 2. Relatively to
the companies of the transforming industry about 76% are in the two clusters more
innovative, with 39% in cluster 3. However, we still have the following relative
reflections to the transforming industry (annex 2): agro industries (CAE 15) 50% of
companies are in cluster 1, manufacture of textile (CAE 17) 50% belong to cluster 3 and
38% to cluster 1, clothes industry (CAE 18), 73% belong to cluster 1 and 18% to cluster
2.
4.2 - Characterization of the companies’ clusters
The three groups of standard behaviours of the companies relative to the involvement in
activities of innovation previously identified could be characterized in function of the
attributes previously presented: process of innovation, the networks, the mechanisms of
knowledge and the system of governance. These attributes will help to trace the profile
of innovative behaviours and to perceive which factors or variables of environment
those are associated with the best performance in innovation.
