Knowledge sharing for innovation in clusters Sample Clauses

Knowledge sharing for innovation in clusters. Innovation is key in clusters, as the long-term success of a region depends on the ability to continuously renew available resources and create new ones (Xxxxxx 2008) in an incessant entrepreneurial process. A vast majority of studies have found that clustered firms show a higher innovative capacity than isolated firms (Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxx 1998). Scholars agree that innovation is deeply rooted in clusters and is strongly related to knowledge exchanges (Xxxxxxx et al. 2004; Xxxxxxx 2005; Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxxxx 1999). Cluster scholars have largely contributed to this debate, suggesting that innovation-related knowledge is selectively and unevenly exchanged in clusters and firms play heterogeneous roles in knowledge exchange within and across clusters (Xxxxxxx & Ter Wal 2007; Xxxxxxxx 2007a; 2007b; Xxxxxxxx 2008). Gatekeepers received a lot of attention in literature (e.g., Xxxxxxxx 2008) even if other brokerage roles have been accounted in literature on clusters (e.g., Xxxxxxxx & Xxxx 2005; Xxxxxxx & Pizzurno 2015). The combination of local and global relationships is another extremely relevant issue in the studies about regional innovation networks (Biggiero & Sammarra 2010). In conclusion, research on this topic has revolved so far on innovation-based networks within and across clusters and more specifically on the knowledge exchanges for innovation within and across clusters, using social network analysis as a framework and methodology.
