“…Some of the papers in this group deal with the identification of S3 areas. To illustrate, Gonzalez et al (2017) described and analyzed the location of industrial complexes for the construction of industrial policies based on the principles of related variety and S3. Gulc (2015) compared the methodological approaches used to identify S3 in Polish regions, concluding that the qualitative method was most popular but not complemented by the quantitative ones.…”

Purpose This paper aims to evaluate whether the integration of smart specialization strategies (S3) into clusters significantly impacts their efficiency for countries that still do not implement this policy. This study tests three effects: whether the kind of policies envisaged through an S3 strategy impacts cluster’s efficiency; whether this impact changes with the technological intensity of the clusters; to determine which S3 is more suitable for sub-clusters at different levels of technological intensity. Design/methodology/approach The Mexican economy is taken as case of study because it has a proper classification of its industries intro Porter’s cluster’s definition but still does not adopt the S3 policy. Through data envelopment analysis (DEA), this study evaluates the cluster’s efficiency increment when variables representing the S3 elements are included. Findings The results show that strategies following the S3 had a significant impact in all clusters, but when clusters were classified by technological intensity, the impact on efficiency is higher in clusters in the medium low-tech group. Practical implications According to the results in the DEA, it can be concluded that these S3 strategies have the potential to increase the clusters’ productivity significantly. These results make convenient the adoption of the S3 policy by countries that already count with a properly cluster definition. Originality/value These findings contribute to the lack of studies that analyze the join implementation of S3 on clusters.

“…Based on examining and demonstrating the impact of industrial agglomeration on corporate ESG performance, the study reveals the relationship between the two and their external heterogeneity and internal micro-conduction mechanism. The study found that: (1) The agglomeration of the manufacturing significantly promotes corporate ESG performance; (2) The producer services agglomeration industries has a "U-shaped" relationship with corporate ESG performance; (3) The agglomeration of the manufacturing affects corporate ESG performance by alleviating financing constraints and improving investment levels, while the producer services agglomeration industries affects corporate ESG performance by influencing market competitiveness and internal control; (4) The impact of manufacturing agglomeration on corporate ESG performance is significant in capital-intensive and high-tech industries, while the impact of producer services agglomeration on corporate ESG performance is more significant in knowledgeintensive industries; (5) The effect of the degree of industrial agglomeration on corporate ESG performance varies according to different enterprise characteristics; (6) The agglomeration of the manufacturing mainly promotes the fulfillment of corporate environmental responsibility and social responsibility, while the producer services agglomeration primarily affects the fulfillment of corporate environmental responsibility and governance responsibility; (7) Good ESG performance has a significant positive effect on enterprises' economic, socio-economic, and governance economic consequences.…”

“…Marshall (1890) defined the external effects of industrial agglomeration as the economies of scale achieved by related firms through a specialized division of labor in each production process. This effect can create a positive feedback mechanism between regional economic growth and industrial agglomeration, forming a virtuous cycle (Niklas, 2002; Beaudry and Schiffauerova, 2009; Amado and Elizabeth, 2016; Chen et al, 2022) [4][5][6][7]. Porter (1998) conducted research based on the perspective of external economy and competitive advantage and believed that industrial agglomeration could effectively reduce innovation and transaction costs of micro-subjects in a region, as well as improve the efficiency of factor utilization.…”

Global climate change has emerged as a persistent global crisis. Under the dual pressures of industrial structure upgrading and ecological environment improvement, enhancing enterprise ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) performance can contribute to achieving sustainable development of the global economy. Selected a sample of 285 prefecture-level cities in China from 2005 to 2020 and panel data of listed companies to empirically examine the impact of industrial agglomeration on corporate ESG performance and its heterogeneity effects. We found that industrial agglomeration generally positively affects corporate ESG performance, with the significant promotion of ESG performance in manufacturing and a “U”-shaped relationship between producer services. Influence channel analysis found that industrial agglomeration acts on corporate ESG performance through the micro-transmission mechanisms of financing constraints, investment levels, market competitiveness, and internal control. Heterogeneity research found that the impact of manufacturing agglomeration on corporate ESG performance is more significant in capital-intensive and high-end technology industries, while producer service agglomeration has a more significant effect on ESG performance for knowledge-intensive industries. This study contributes to a better understanding of the microeconomic consequences of industrial agglomeration and expands the research perspective on the internal mechanisms and external incentives of corporate ESG performance. It provides a basis for local governments to analyze the different characteristics and microeconomic consequences of industrial agglomeration and provide empirical evidence for listed companies to adjust their ESG performance structure dynamically.

Penentuan pusat pertumbuhan ekonomi di suatu daerah merupakan topik yang perlu dikaji dan dipraktikkan untuk mendorong pembangunan ekonomi daerah. Pusat pertumbuhan, terintegrasi dengan sektor industri secara makro. Metode untuk menentukan pusat pertumbuhan industri meliputi: teknik analisis kebutuhan teknologi, analisis kesenjangan pencapaian dan target, penyusunan strategi untuk memenuhi kebutuhan dan pernyataan ketidakpastian yang akan datang. Hasil analisis menempatkan Bengkalis sebagai sentra produksi dan pertumbuhan industri di pesisir timur Riau bagian tengah. Kawasan Siak Kecil dan Bukit Batu menjadi pusat pertumbuhan industri untuk menunjang kegiatan di Dumai. Akses jalan dari kecamatan lain ke Buruk Bakul ditingkatkan untuk meningkatkan aksesibilitas. Pelabuhan di Buruk Bakul akan dibangun menjadi feeder port untuk pengiriman produk dari kawasan industri. Pusat pertumbuhan industri akan meningkatkan kualitas masyarakat lokal dan memastikan kondisi kehidupan yang berkelanjutan. Pengelompokan industri dapat meningkatkan pemanfaatan potensi pembangunan dan integrasi masyarakat lokal. Oleh karena itu, pusat pertumbuhan industri mendukung pengembangan modal sosial daerah dan kualitas hidup. Implementasi pusat-pusat pertumbuhan, melengkapi kesenjangan antara kebijakan pemerintah pusat dan provinsi serta masyarakat
