“…Also, there have been several studies that address issues of how the localization of organizations in geographic clusters can enable cooperation between these organizations, while nurturing their ability to create and maintain a competitive advantage (Lazerson, and Lorenzoni, 1999;Porter, 2000;Boari et al, 2003). On the other hand, researchers generally agree on the need to develop industrial clusters (Waits, 2000;Colgan, and Baker, 2003;Porter, 2003;Singh, and Jain, 2003), as a form of networking that can reduce the region's susceptibility to changing demand, and stagnation (Ozkanli, and Akdeve, 2006). The constant cooperation of all constituent parts of the cluster is necessary for the advancement of industrial clusters (Bhawsar & Chattopadhyay, 2018).…”

The increasing turbulence of the economic environment leads to changes in the business style, and adapting to this new style requires a cluster approach. In this sense, the goal of the research relates to determining the impact of the cluster internal and external interaction on innovative performance and innovative performance on organizational performance, as well as determining the impact of the cluster internal and external relational embeddedness on innovative success and innovation success on organizational performance using path analysis. The obtained results indicated direct positive and statistically significant influences between the observed variables, except in the case of the influence of innovative performance on organizational performance, where no direct significant connection was found. The study’s findings showed that the promotion of industrial clusters alone cannot ensure the generation of innovations for the benefit of the organizations that are members of the cluster, but should also consider the organization’s specificity for successful implementation.

“…First set of indicators assesses the cooperation patterns of firms. As argued by many researchers cooperation among firms can be an important source of innovation (e.g., Lundvall, 1993;Porter, 1998, Özkanlı andAkdeve, 2009). Innovation capabilities of firms depend on external processes such as new competencies and cooperation with other organizations as well as internal processes.…”

This paper provides a novel taxonomy of firms based on specialization versus diversification in production and markets. Firms may choose to specialize on few production activities or alternatively may build expertise in many activities. There is an accompanying decision when firms sell their products: whether to serve few or many markets. We argue that the location on the specialization-diversification spectrum significantly affects how firms manage innovation.For a sample of 90 innovator ICT firms in Ankara we find that cooperation structure, sources of innovation and funding of R&D display statistically significant different patterns according to the specialization-diversification taxonomy.

“…Generally speaking, all entities benefit from being in a cluster, in terms of, for example, easier access to information, knowledge exchange, better cooperation with the public sector and research institutions, participation in research projects (Pasha, 2019;Derlukiewicz et al, 2020). Clusters can also be useful for government policy if the government wants to increase innovation, spread technology and knowledge, or in a situation where it wants to increase competitive advantage and even conquer a new market (Ozkanli and Akdeve, 2006). On the other hand, if there is an economic downturn in a particular industry, with excessive concentration and scale of cluster activity, there is a risk that the region will be too dependent on one industry, which may lead to an imbalance in the structure of the economy.…”

Numerous empirical studies have long been indicated the importance of business infrastructure for economic and regional development. Ensuring long-term economic growth, as well as the creation and development of small and medium enterprises (SMEs), as key drivers of the development of modern economies, requires a high level of efficiency and flexibility of business infrastructure. In the Western Balkans, the absence of a coherent business infrastructure network is the biggest obstacle to the rapid growth of their economies. For this reason, the activities of the Western Balkan governments in the future should be aimed at developing a network of business infrastructure in order to increase the share of the knowledge and services sector with high added value in the economic structure. This paper aims to point out the role of innovative clusters as a model of associating SMEs in the context of regional development.
