Resumen
This study makes a systemic review to cluster and create a competitiveness relationship
considering a systems dynamics approach. A dynamic hypothesis was constructed to validate
what factors increase a cluster’s level of competitiveness, through causal analysis. Then, the causal
diagram that validates the dynamic H0 hypothesis was constructed in Vensim PLE systems®.
Literature review shows the evolution of the cluster system according to the current needs of the
market, and emphasizes the need for new approaches and models that capture the complexity and
dynamics of this system, allowing the understanding of its structure and the evaluation of the
contribution of factors and capabilities to cluster competitiveness. It highlights the usefulness of
systems dynamics as a simulation methodology for dynamic and complex systems, and establishes
itself as a growing line of research applied to various systems of study. Dynamic hypothesis H0
was validated using the causal diagram, reaching the conclusion that innovation, productive
management, financial management, organizational management, commercial management, and
cluster management factors positively increase the cluster competitiveness level. From structure
analysis, the behavior is associated to the archetype “Path Dependence,” usual in growing
industrial markets.
