Abstract
The Montreal biopharmaceutical cluster is now internationally well-known. To describe its organization, four strategic territorial dynamics are conceptualized and analyzed : the knowledge capitalization, costs optimization, competition-cooperation and governance dynamics. A survey of 45 firms reveals that those territorial dynamics result from five strategic drivers activated by four types of enterprises (pharmaceutical enterprises, contract research organization, “networked” biotechnology firms and “start-up” biotechnology firms) whose organizational anchorages take part into the performing Montreal biopharmaceutical territorial construction.
