“…Due to policies of regional diversification and smart specialization, there is a suggestion that the 4th industrial revolution is an era "beyond clusters". However, according to Suwala and Micek [48], it is certainly not a "post cluster" era. Clusters which are successful are shown to be built on a "practice of clustering", i.e., a set of future-oriented activities carried out jointly by regional actors and coordinated in order to enhance the local texture [14,49,50].…”

The purpose of this paper is to provide an insight into the barriers faced by clusters as open innovation intermediaries. Literature review and an empirical study were performed, involving a nation-wide survey, case studies, and in-depth interviews with cluster actors involved in open innovation activities. This article conceptually links open innovation and clusters in the context of the fourth industrial revolution, empirically identifies barriers hindering open innovation in clusters, and indicates factors that might affect the open innovation processes in networked ecosystems. The findings confirm that the perception of barriers hindering open innovation in clusters differs between clusters already implementing open innovation and those which are still not active in this area. The findings contribute to a comprehensive understanding of the potential roles of clusters as open innovation intermediaries in the context of transitioning economies. With clusters playing a role in open innovation intermediary, public support at cluster level could increase openness to cooperation not only for member companies, but all participants in the regional innovation ecosystem.

“…Despite eastern Poland having a less favourable geographical location (in economic terms) and less developed infrastructure, this social capital and EU developmental funds should serve to mitigate differentials in economic development and thus make development more sustainable. One of the ways of promoting such development is by developing clusters of innovative businesses, such as the so called "aviation valley" located around Rzeszów, the capital of the Podkarpackie region [85].…”

“…Although the east suffers from a lack of infrastructure, these regions at eligible for financing from the EU cohesion fund, which is aimed at reducing inequality between regions (i.e., one of the goals of sustainable development). Such funds can be used to help, for example, develop clusters of innovative business, such as "aviation valley" in the Podkarpackie region (see L. Suwala and G. Micek [85]). However, these funds do not in themselves provide sufficient reason to locate in the eastern regions of Poland.…”

Social Capital and Long-Term Regional Development within Poland in the Light of Experimental Economics and Data from a Questionnaire

For some time, researchers have been interested in determinants of long-term growth which are not purely economic in nature. The development of the concept of social capital by sociologists, politologists and economists is a visible effect of this interest. Any determinant of long-term growth is obviously important from the point of view of sustainability, particularly when its relation to other factors of sustainability, such as environmental protection, is taken into account. This article presents the results of research into spatial variation in social capital within Poland (according to region and size of home town). The authors consider social capital in relation to trust, trustworthiness and, in particular, cooperation, as well as taking into account attitudes regarding legal norms (law-abidingness). Such a wide approach enables us to eliminate the negative aspects of trust and concentrate on its positive forms, which can result in an economic rent. The aim of the article is to identify regions of Poland that are characterized by a high level of social capital from the point of view of individuals exhibiting a willingness to cooperate with others and observe the law and relate these results with the perspectives for long-term growth in Poland. The results of the research are based on a study carried out on a sample of 1540 students using experimental game theory alongside a questionnaire that investigated various aspects of cooperation, trust, trustworthiness and aversion to inequality. The results of the study indicate intuitively reasonable associations between the data from the questionnaire and behaviour in the experimental games suggesting that the declarations are (in statistical terms) meaningful. Analysis indicates that, in Poland, readiness to cooperate tends to be higher in rural areas. Although the study concentrates on the relation between social capital and economic development, it is also argued that high levels of social capital also favour other components of sustainable development.

“…Levels three and four are characterized by genuine and proactive spatial interventions in which either purposeful regional economic and societal synergies between the city/region and the company are created (CSpR 2.0), or in which companies even are partly taking over (formerly) public responsibilities or matters of governance exerting spatial leadership (CSpR 3.0). (Suwala and Micek 2018;Albers andSuwala 2018, 2020a).…”

“…There are manifold examples how corporations stimulate or even lead entire towns, cities, or regions at various scales and with various intensities of commitment (e.g. Suwala et al 2012;Suwala and Micek 2018). In smaller German cities, cultural buildings are often sponsored by local firms to enrich cultural life.…”
