Structura şi evoluţia aglomerărilor industriale în România, înainte de integrarea în Uniunea Europeană
The Structure and Evolution of Industrial Clusters in Romania, before its Admission to European Union

Summary/Abstract: There are many theories and measurements related to the concept of competitiveness. The purpose of this paper is to reveal the industrial conformation of the most competitive branches in the Romanian economy. The study focuses on the period 1990-2006, after the fall of communist regime and before Romania’s admission to EU. We start from the assumption that the structural changes that have taken place in the economy can be seen in the evolution and structure of trade. The method used was fi rst implemented by Michael Porter in his revolutionary book: The Competitive Advantage of Nations. The main results show that we cannot speak yet about a clusters’ structure in Romania, but we can speak about some “embryos” in branches like metals, oil, chemicals, housing and clothing, respectively.
