Abstract: The world is changing; companies should adapt to trends and produce innovative and creative products. Starting from this point, it is easy to see the necessity of partnerships and collaborations between companies all over the world. In literature, this structure is found as “cluster”. In Romania, there are approximate 45 clusters, but not all of them are active. The purpose of this paper is to analyze what the determinant factors that influence companies to become a member of a cluster are. It is very important to discover the reasons why SMEs choose to add a cluster or not. Firstly, through this analysis we could measure the level of trust and confidence between companies, which is the most important factor in long run partnerships. Secondly, we could observe what number of companies is prepared to make transactions with authorities, and what the weak points of this system are. Thirdly, we could make correlations between different regions and suggest some improvements. From a methodological point of view, we will use both quantitative and qualitative methods of research. We will select a sample of respondents and apply questionnaires in order to collect all dates we will need for the research. Then we will make the analysis and interpretation using different statistical methods.
