Collective Goods for Reformatting the Rio de Janeiro Software Cluster into a Local Innovation System

  • Chapter
From Agglomeration to Innovation

Part of the book series: IDE-JETRO Series ((IDE))

Abstract

The flowchart model has significantly contributed to the policy knowledge about the development of manufacturing industrial agglomerations in emerging economies in Asia into high-productivity, efficient clusters (Kuchiki 2004; Kuchiki and Tsuji 2005b). The flowchart model recent research efforts have been targeted at firm geographical agglomerations in other regions such as North and Latin America, particularly Brazil and the United States, and other types of industries such as renewable — sugar— alcohol production chain (Ueki 2007) — and non-renewable energy — oil and gas exploration and production (Botelho and Bastos, this volume) and software in India (Okada 2005; Okada, this volume); as well as exploring new topics such as innovation clusters in the United States and China (Kabir et al. 2007; Kuchiki 2007). This chapter represents yet another unique addition to this second phase of the flowchart research programme, as it studies the conditions for the redevelopment of a non-hierarchical cluster in the IT sector centred on innovation, with a particular focus on software and services industry (SSI), in the metropolitan region of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
