19th TCI Global Conference - Eindhoven 2016

Theoretical background The literature suggests links:

between corporate governance and firm performance

between cluster governance and cluster output (De Propris & Wei, 2007; Parrilli & Sachetti, 2008; Berthinier-Poncet, 2014)

between social capital and sustainability practices (Rydin & Holman, 2004; Tsai, 2008; Thuy et al, 2011)


Cluster Evaluation Tool

Beyond GDP and innovation output Not intended to be comparative, but a tool

for learning Strategic and operational impact


Social Capital Evaluation

Based on the work done by the TCI Cluster Evaluation Working Group

Measuring: Perceived value of collaborative strength Collaborative dynamics


Cluster Governance


Cluster management facilitates: Knowledge sharing Communities Collaboration Internal/external

support Regional identity Conflict resolutionBased on Berthinier-Poncet (2014)

Measuring Sustainable Development What to measure? How to measure?

UN Indicators of Sustainable Development OECD Green Growth & Sustainable

Development Global Reporting Initiative



Measures of Sustainable Development

Based on Bocken et al (2014) and Kuznetsov et al (2015)

Limitations Assumption that firms are both interested

in and engaged with sustainable development practices

Engaged with the cluster – rather than being a member ‘because we should be’
