Description
Summary:The agri-food industry is hampered by certain characteristics when attempting to enter international markets and these can be partly overcome by adopting cooperative strategies. Among such strategies, clusters have proven to be very useful in agri-food settings and particularly in developing countries. This study has analysed the literature on dynamic capabilities, clusters and internationalization, and has the double objective of, first, determining if belonging to a cluster enhances the development of the dynamic capabilities required in internationalisation and second, exploring the nature of these capabilities and gauging their influence on the international results obtained by the company. We propose a model that brings together the specific set of dynamic capabilities inherent in a cluster, with the dynamic capabilities corresponding to companies which are already internationalised. The results indicate that the dynamic capabilities for internationalisation developed by clusters in the Dominican Republic, are mainly dynamic exploitative capabilities, and within these, consolidation capabilities.
