| Abstract | |
In the globalization era, the importance of informational technologies as essential components of productive activities is remarkable, significantly altering the dynamics of the geographical space, economy, society, and politics. In Brazil, state incentives for the software industry have especially grown, denoting the banalization of its use in various productive spheres. Therefore, we seek to understand the mechanisms of the productive agglomerations of software and IT and their distribution in the Brazilian territory, based on the development of a typology and on the analysis of the topology of such clusters. To do so, it was essential to analyze the current public policies aiming the development of software. We investigate in particular the objectives and strategies of the Strategic Program for Software and Information Technology Services, or TI Maior Program, developed under the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation, as well as the links between state, market, and class-representing organizations, discussing the productive spatial circuit of software and the established cooperation circles. We believe that some of these policies aim to create incentives for competitiveness of companies from the IT sector, as well as from other sectors that increasingly depend on the existence of intense information flows to develop its activities, given the importance of new technologies as geographical bases of globalization that reassert the current production paradigm (AU) | |
