Clusters and Innovation |
1."Climate of Competition, Clusters and Innovative Performance"
The paper explores the impact of industry competition and cooperation
on innovation performance of firms. The authors apply LISREL model to
test different hypothesis describing relationships between the above
three variables using data from a stratified sample of Swedish
manufacturing firms.

2."Innovation Clusters in the Decade of the 1990s"
Industry clustering for resource sharing of products, knowledge and
services has been rising in recent times. The underlying theory is that
each firm’s competitive position is dependent on several supporting
industries and institutions. This paper explores several dimensions to
industry clustering including for example the theory that firms and
workers migrate to areas that are innovation centres in any given
industry.

3."Innovation Clusters in Latin America"
The authors create a model of innovation clusters which emphasizes the
contribution of intangible factors like communication and culture as
being as critical as that of tangible factors such as specialized
infrastructure. The model is tested using data collected via literature
survey, electronic conference and field visits in six Latin American
countries. Preliminary results seem to suggest that while no mature
innovation clusters exist, several with protoclusters with potential
exist.

4."Innovation Clusters: Key Concepts"
The study examines different types of innovation clusters in detail, and as the title suggests, and explains the key concepts.
