Although informal knowledge networks have often been regarded as a key ingredient
behind the success of industrial clusters, the forces that shape their structure and dynamics …

A wealth of empirical literature shows that one of elements of success for regional clusters is
that they facilitate the formation of local inter-organizational networks, which act as conduits …

Abstract Knowledge networks are important to understand learning in industry clusters but
surprisingly little is known about what drives the formation, persistence and dissolution of …

The research provides an empirical assessment of the evolution dynamics of a cluster
knowledge network and investigates the role of clustered firms' absorptive capacity in …

Network systems like clusters are characterized by the coexistence of relational
architectures with ties and nodes of different nature. While recent research has analysed …

In a recent literature, the structural properties of knowledge networks have been pointed out
as a critical factor for cluster structural changes and long-run dynamics. Mixing evolutionary …

We investigate the micro-connectivity drivers of network change in an underperforming
industrial cluster in Argentina. Our analysis is based on data collected in two consecutive …

In this paper, we model the impact of networks on knowledge growth in an innovating
industry. Specifically, we compare two mediums of knowledge exchange: random …
