Do clusters help companies to "go green"? Experience of Polish National Key Clusters

Abstrakt

This study aims to explore cluster activity in the field of green transformation, taking into account the green, low-carbon and circular economy. Our intention was to identify the main green practices used by cluster organizations, which we showed through the lens of the attributes of both the cluster and the cluster organization. Through our study, we sought to answer the question: what is the role of cluster organizations in supporting green transformation from the perspective of both cluster coordinators and members? The study was conducted in the period 2021-2023 mainly in Polish National Key Clusters. The selection of clusters was based, on the one hand, on the similarity resulting from their maturity (which was determined, among others, by the age and the scope of activities), on the other hand, on the differences resulting from industry affiliation and location (surveyed clusters represent different industries and are located in different parts of Poland). We conducted a two-stage quantitative survey in which we assessed cluster green transformation activity from the perspective of cluster managers (first stage) and from the perspective of cluster enterprise representatives (second stage), using the same survey questionnaire. Our study showed that for the development of cluster cooperation within green transformation, the role of geographical proximity is crucial. It was with this cluster attribute that the most popular green practices identified in the study were linked. They are associated with relationship building, learning and knowledge sharing processes, and growth of innovation potential.
