The cognitive and geographical composition of ego-networks of firms – and how they impact on their innovation performance
Broekel, Tom; Boschma, Ron - Disciplinegroep Economische Geografie, Faculteit … - 2011
Firms’ embeddedness into knowledge networks has received much attention in the literature. However, little is known about the composition of firms’ ego-networks with respect to different types of proximities. Based on survey data of 295 firms in eight European regions, we show that the...

Cluster Evolution and a Roadmap for Future Research
Boschma, Ron; Fornahl, Dirk - Disciplinegroep Economische Geografie, Faculteit … - 2011
There is increasing recognition that the existence of clusters can only be understood when studying their dynamics over time (Audretsch and Feldman 1996; Pouder and St. John 1996; Swann et al. 1998; Maggioni 2002; Brenner 2004; Iammarino and McCann 2006; Menzel and Fornahl 2010; Ter Wal and Boschma 2011). In fact, clusters...
