It is increasingly acknowledged that clusters do not necessarily exhibit networks of local collective learning. This paper addresses the question under which conditions this is the case. Through a longitudinal case study of the business park Sophia-Antipolis it investigates how networks of collective learning emerged throughout the growth of the cluster. Network reconstruction with patent data shows that an innovation network emerged only in Information Technology, in which growth has been increasingly based on local spin-offs and start-ups, and not in Life Sciences. We suggest the extent and nature of agglomeration of firms over time strongly affect the evolution of local collective learning networks.... view less

Es wird zunehmend anerkannt, dass Cluster nicht unbedingt Netzwerke des lokalen kollektiven Lernens aufweisen. In dieser Studie wird anhand einer Fallstudie des Geschäftsparks Sophia-Antipolis in Frankreich untersucht, in welchem Umfang im Verlauf des Wachstums dieses Geschäftsparks Netzwerke des kollektiven Lernens entstanden. Aus einer longitudinalen Analyse der Erfindernetzwerke in den beiden Hauptsektoren des Geschäftsparks geht hervor, dass ein lokales Netzwerk des kollektiven Lernens nur in der Informationstechnik entstand, nicht aber in den Biowissenschaften. Die Gründung von Spin-off- und Start-up-Firmen im Bereich der Hochtechnologie führte nur bei der Informationstechnik zu einem Rückgang der anfänglichen Dominanz großer multinationaler Konzerne. Dies lässt darauf schließen, dass kleine Firmen bei der Gründung lokaler Netzwerke eine wichtige Rolle spielen.... view less
