Abstract
The contingencies of a globalized market perfected that cooperation and collaboration through clusters makes companies gain staff to become more competitive. For the policies of the clusters to be efficient and effective, it is necessary to understand at which stage of the life cycle these arrangements are positioned. Thus, the objective of this study is to classify 24 clusters in the state of Paraná using an integrated model in order to identify the evolution cycle of each arrangement through its Development Stage (DS) and its Degree of Organization (DO). For this, with data collected through questionnaires in loco, the model was applied using a system of 58 indicators, subdivided into 9 dimensions. In view of the importance of Agribusiness in the state of Paraná, the study compared the evolution of the clusters linked to this sector with those of the others. The results revealed that there are four different hypotheses regarding the evolution cycle of the clusters in the state of Paraná. Two extremes were observed: the Maringá Software LPA was the only mature and innovative cluster; the LPA for Agricultural Equipment in the Cascavel region was the only informal and emerging one. In general terms, as partnership actions with teaching and research institutions were too discreet. Still, although agribusiness is the main economic matrix in the state of Paraná, clusters of other sectors have a similar evolutionary cycle. Finally, the results of the study serve as support for the development of strategic plans and decision return, with attention to the specificities and the evolutionary status of each cluster.
