Abstract
This project analyzes the dynamics of selected software clusters in two South American countries focusing on institutional aspects of software and information services (SIS) clusters and their impacts on local economic development. The driving forces behind SIS multinationals’ locational decisions; network effects among large and small firms, universities and research centers; and local SIS industry development perspectives are examined. The research is based on case studies, developed by four research teams in Córdoba and Rosario (Argentina), Blumenau, Hortolândia, Porto Alegre, Petropolis, Recife and Salvador (Brazil). Some text is in Portuguese. A book is forthcoming to present the project results.
