    Estrategias de especialización inteligente: el caso del País Vasco
    (Orkestra-Instituto Vasco de Competitividad, 2011) Navarro, Mikel; Aranguren, Mari Jose; Magro Montero, Edurne
    La literatura actual subraya la necesidad de desarrollar estrategias de innovación territorial para la construcción de ventajas competitivas. Sin embargo, el concepto de estrategia no resulta claro, en sus límites y contenidos, cuando se aplica al territorio. Este documento analiza un tipo concreto de estrategia territorial, que está siendo impulsado en la actualidad desde la Dirección de Política Regional de la Comisión Europea: las estrategias de especialización inteligente. Más en particular, trata de aquellos aspectos actualmente en discusión y necesitados de adicional desarrollo o concreción. La discusión se concentra en dos dimensiones: en el contenido y en el proceso de la estrategia. Esto es, en el “qué”, por un lado, y en el “cómo” y “por quién”, por otro, de la estrategia territorial. El análisis de la evolución de este tipo de estrategias en el País Vasco desde comienzos de los 80 pone de manifiesto la conveniencia de no tener una visión restrictiva de tales estrategias y el diferente papel que el Gobierno desempeña dependiendo de las distintas capacidades existentes en la región. Más aún, el documento subraya que es preferible desarrollar simultáneamente, y no secuencialmente, las necesarias capacidades científico-tecnológicas y la generación de una visión compartida de la estrategia de especialización inteligente en un proceso de emprendimiento.

    A participatory methodology for evaluating the cluster policy of the Basque Country
    (Orkestra-Instituto Vasco de Competitividad, 2011) Aragón Amonarriz, Cristina; Aranguren, Mari Jose; Iturrioz Landart, Cristina; Wilson, James Ralph
    Cluster policies have become a consolidated tool among regional policies, and albeit their growing presence there remains scepticism around the way in which the cluster concept is often treated as a policy panacea. Indeed, the evaluation of cluster policies is a critical yet under-examined issue. In Spain, the Basque Country Autonomous Community, was one of the pioneers of regional cluster policy, and in recent years various evaluations have been made of different aspects of the policy. Yet it has proved challenging to undertake a holistic evaluation in terms of the success of the policy in achieving its ultimate aim of enhancing the competitiveness of the Basque economy. This paper develops the rationale for applying a participatory evaluation approach, rooted in an action research framework, to the cluster policy of the Basque Government. Based on this rationale we present a methodology that has been designed for specific pilot application with the Basque aerospace cluster. In doing so, we aim to contribute to debate around the applicability and practical implementation of such methodologies to the evaluation of ‘soft’, co-operationbased regional policies.

    Smart specialisation strategies: the case of the Basque Country
    (Orkestra-Instituto Vasco de Competitividad, 2011) Navarro, Mikel; Aranguren, Mari Jose; Magro Montero, Edurne
    There is a clear acknowledgment in the literature of the importance of developing regional innovation strategies to build competitive advantages. However, the concept remains fuzzy in terms of its limits and contents applied to the territorial field. This paper analyses one concrete type of territorial strategy that is currently being disseminated by the European Commission for regional development: the smart specialisation strategy (S3). Specifically, this paper analyses the aspects that remain under discussion and are opened to greater development and precision under the smart specialisation concept. The focus is on two dimensions: the content of the strategy and the process of the strategy (the “what” and the “how and who” of the strategy). By analysing the evolution of S3 since the 1980s and three cases of S3 based on research and development (R & D) in the Basque Country, the paper emphasises the convenience of adopting a broad definition of S3 and the different roles of the government depending on the existing capabilities in the region. Moreover, the paper indicates that it is preferable to simultaneously and not consequentially develop the necessary scientific and technological capabilities and the generation of a shared vision of the S3 strategy in an entrepreneurial process.
