ALDERETE, María Verónica. PRODUCTIVE AGREEMENTS FORM A LOCAL DEVELOPMENT SCOPE: THE ROLE OF INNOVATION. Semest. Econ. [online]. 2013, vol.16, n.33, pp.127-154. ISSN 0120-6346.

This paper provides a theoretical discussion about the importance of production clusters from a local development scope, with special emphasis on the role they have as innovation promoters. The theoretical concept of productive clusters has evolved based the importance that local actors have in achieving the local development objectives. This theoretical development has an impact on the formulation of development policies, including those to promote innovation. The theoretical review focuses on local production and Innovation systems studied by RedeSist, Brazil. This perspective is not intended to determine general rules of application, given the particularities of regional development but to contribute to the theoretical and normative discussion in order to promote local development.

Keywords : Productive agreements; local development; innovation; Brazil.
