ABSTRACT
The necessity of organizing the effective and efficient economic activities in business agglomerations, or within the clusters is justified (1) by the historical and conceptual premises at the industrial districts level (especially the Italian economy); (2) by the integrated business adaptation at the technological changes dynamics, based on the dynamic systems theory; (3) by the strategic games with bifurcation tension—for example, of the prisoner dilemma between two main actors of the cluster (the first being the contractor and the other the supplier system/chain—with the latest being the producers of the semi-finished products from the cluster); and (4) by the strategic cube of the distinctive advantage providing systematic evolutions in resolving the prisoner dilemma (in clusters). In all the cases, the social innovative phase of the mutual collaboration (passive phase), of getting out of contingent (proactive phase) by the stakeholders’ consensus (reactive phase), is solved through the promotion of the repetitive dialog (so defining the iterative phase). The optimal solution shows up in the intermittent technological transfer and of the competition by diversification on the cluster as a whole (not just of the firms from the supplier chain).
