Abstract
In recent years, application of the clusters model in different entrepreneurial environments
has been increasingly used as an alternative to improve competitiveness. The aim of this
study is to determine the feasibility of the application of the cluster in tailoring-fashion
design industry in Bucaramanga (Colombia). This industry, while it is one of the most tra
-
ditional of the region, has now fallen behind. Surveys and interviews in small and medium-
sized enterprises (SMEs) of the industry in this city were held during the research. This
material is analyzed through
1)
Porter’s diamond methodology and
2)
the five competitive
forces (put forward by the same author). The results shows that the cluster is a feasible
model with which to make this sector in Bucaramanga more competitive.
