For instance, you probably have a good department marketing running the activities and also outsources some others. In contrast, for a small business is difficult to develop this activity potently and so, take clear advantage on that effort.

The bigger dimension can be achieved, either by growing the organization itself organically, either throughacquisitions. At the same time, is necessary to have the project very well-structured and a good organization to ensure the settlement of the basic structures of operation.

It is also possible through systematic collaboration, structured and regulated between different complementary organizations from the point of view of the market, a fact that allows sharing certain processes to ensure that the whole gains strength. In this sense, cluster policy would facilitate this integration.
