RESUMO

The globalization of the economy, the progressive elimination of barriers to trade and the opening of national markets, have produced a strong impact on the local production structures, carrying out threats and opportunities to small and medium companies demanding of them an strategy that insert them in the new economy. The emerge of conglomeration of companies of the same sector of specialization, so called local productive arrangements, has propitiate to the small and medium companies an important insertion strategy in the global market. Indeed, this kind of industrial/regional organization has become an important piece in the implementation of industrial, regional and technological policies to respond to increasingly open markets. There are in the literature many studies on local productive arrangements. Accordingly, a significant part of empirical studies on this subject has been focused on the potential of a sector, in a specific region, to become a local productive arrangement based on quantitative analysis (regional specialization, index of concentration in industrial sectors, number of employees in sector etc.). In contrast, there are few studies that try to understand the nature of the phenomena, its startup?s main drivers factors, the pattern of development of these arrangements and how the local stakeholders could plan and manager them. Taking this into account, it is necessary to develop conceptual models that are able to overcome this deficiency. A combination of quantitative and qualitative analysis is therefore appropriate to identify the most competitive industries and their internal interrelationships. Qualitative analysis such as interviews with local leaders for instance are required to understand interactions and relationships identified through quantitative tools. Beyond the actual findings obtained, analysis can also help identify the most suitable policy targets as well as benchmarks for the evaluation of subsequent arrangement?s plan and management of its performance. This is the aim of this paper, an exploratory research based on theory review, case studies and interviews with local stakeholders propose a conceptual model to plan and to manager the phenomena of local productive arrangements. The greatest benefit of the conceptual model is thus its capacity to give regional economic development policy and sometimes fragmented organizations and plan areas a unifying focus.
