%T Co-evolution of firms, industries and networks in space %A Wal, Anne L.J. ter %A Boschma, Ron %J Regional Studies %D 2009 %= 2011-06-01T12:49:00Z %~ http://www.peerproject.eu/ %> https://nbn-resolving.org/urn:nbn:de:0168-ssoar-134170 %X The cluster literature suffers from a number of shortcomings: (1) cluster studies tend to relate the performance of cluster firms to their cluster location, without controlling for firm-specific capabilities; (2) cluster studies tend to overemphasize the importance of place and underestimate the role of networks; (3) cluster studies do not address the evolution of clusters. Our aim is to overcome these shortcomings and propose an exploratory theoretical framework that describes how clusters co-evolve with: (1) the industry they adhere to; (2) the (dynamic) capabilities of the firms they contain; and (3) the industry-wide knowledge network they are part of. %C GBR %G en %9 journal article %W GESIS - http://www.gesis.org %~ SSOAR - http://www.ssoar.info
