“…For a long time, industrial clusters have played an important role in the process of international division of labor, to strengthen the industrial giants and national competitive advantage. There are many scientific studies related to cluster theory currently [2][3][4][5][6]. Collaborative facilities in the cluster provide cluster participants with the opportunity to optimize engineering and manufacturing processes in order to minimize nonmanufacturing costs.…”

Industrial cluster theory has important guiding significance for regional industrial development and industrial agglomeration advantages. Cooperation among enterprises is the corner stone of industrial clusters. The purpose of the paper is to explore the effects of cluster informal contracts on cluster enterprises and the behavior of external partners. Based on the dynamic evolutionary game theory, this paper constructs a model, which incorporates several main factors influencing the innovative cooperation among local and external cluster enterprises. By calculating the replicator dynamics equations and analyzing the evolutionary stable strategies, this paper discusses the evolution process of cooperation strategies of enterprises in different situation. Furthermore, by using MATLAB software to simulate the model, this paper verifies the accuracy and reliability of the game model. Results show that, in addition to the formal market contract, effective implementations of cluster informal contracts can reduce opportunistic behavior in innovative cooperation among internal and external enterprises. Meanwhile, we should pay attention to strengthen the external innovative cooperation, increase severity of penalties, enhance the credit network externality, and avoid the relevant risks. The paper enriches our understanding about how informal contracts can help promote and cultivate good cooperative order in innovative cooperation of clusters.

This article aims to verify factors that can contribute to the use of modularisation in the Brazilian automotive industry through a survey methodology, using principal component analysis and structural equation modelling by partial least squares as techniques. We found three types of factors appearing as drivers or precursors of a formal strategy of modularisation: the use and knowledge of individual non-integrated aspects of modularisation, such as modular architecture; the introduction of competition differentials focusing mainly on cost reduction and increase in flexibility, quality, and dependability; and the existence of a business environment prone to innovation. The main conclusion is that elements of modularisation in the design and the need to meet customers' requirements have much more influence in stimulating a formal, articulated modularisation strategy than a business environment prone to innovation. OPSOMMINGHierdie artikel het as doelstelling die verifiëring van faktore wat kan bydra tot die gebruik van modularisering in die Brasiliaanse voertuig industrie. ŉ Peilingsmetodologie, wat van vernaamste komponent-analise en strukturele vergelykingmodellering deur parsiële minste vierkante gebruik maak, word hiervoor gebruik. Drie soorte faktore is identifiseer as die voorlopers van ŉ formele strategie vir modularisering, naamlik: die gebruik en kennis van individuele, nie-geïntegreerde aspekte van modularisering, soos modulêre argitektuur, die bekendstelling van kompetisie onderskeidings wat hoofsaaklik fokus op kostebesparing en ŉ toename in buigsaamheid, gehalte en betroubaarheid, en die bestaan van ŉ besigheidsomgewing geneig tot innovasie. Die gevolgtrekking is dat elemente van modularisering in die ontwerp en die behoefte om kliënte se versoeke te bevredig ŉ groter invloed het in die stimulasie van ŉ formele, geartikuleerde modularisering strategie as die besigheidsomgewing wat neig tot innovasie.

“…Essa seção tem como inalidade discutir sobre os resultados apresentados pela presente pesquisa. É papel do Eco-Design pensar em redução de custos (SELLITTO et al, 2017), satisfação do cliente (COSIMATO; TROISI;2015), e reduzir impactos ambientais e de materiais. Uma das formas de reduzir os impactos ambientais é através da LR, com o intuito de se reutilizar, remanufaturar e reciclar os produtos.…”

A população mundial iniciou um processo de conscientização ambiental e busca por produtos com uma abordagem mais verde. O Eco-Design é uma das principais práticas na confecção de produtos ambientalmente corretos que influencia o processo produtivo dentro da cadeia de suprimentos, incluindo a Logística Reversa – prática exigida pela legislação brasileira em determinados segmentos de mercado. Neste artigo, realiza-se uma pesquisa teórica sobre a união dos termos logística reversa e o eco-design com o objetivo de buscar afinidade existente entre os termos na literatura. O método utilizado foi a revisão de literatura por meio de uma busca em bases de dados com palavras-chave pré-determinadas. Dentre os resultados, destaca-se inexpressividade na sinergia existe entre os termos eco-design e logística reversa. Elaborou-se uma proposta de classificação dessas práticas verdes na cadeia de suprimentos verde estabelecendo um sistema de afinidade entre elas.
