SERRA Administración y Contabilidad Strategy innovation industry clusters In this theoretical essay we discuss knowledge and innovation in clusters and the benefits of clustering from a knowledge-based perspective. Knowledge-based resources and innovations are important sources of competitive advantage for firms. Aware of the importance of continuously seeking new knowledge, firms increasingly seek knowledge-rich locations such as specific industry clusters across the world. These locations are characterized by the concentration of firms operating in related and supporting activities, a specialized work force and a specialized institutional environment that nurtures the industry. However, it is not likely that these clusters are always locations from which the firms will be able to draw the intended knowledge benefits. The social structure of the relationships between individuals and firms determines the extent to which knowledge will be created, will flow between co-located firms and will bound the knowledge benefits firms may capture. We finish with a discussion of the need of further examination of the network dynamics involved in an industry cluster to obtain a clearer identification of the actual positive externalities that may accrue to co-locating firms. 2009 artículo científico 1984-8196 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=337228639002 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=3372 Base Revista de Administração e Contabilidade da UNISINOS application/pdf Universidade do Vale do Rio dos Sinos Base Revista de Administração e Contabilidade da UNISINOS (Brasil) Num.3 Vol.6 |
