“…The results obtained indicate the potential value of the level of sense of belonging as an explanatory factor for acquisition of knowledge in IDs. Thus, as opposed to previous works that have used sense of belonging to identify, delimit, or determine the involvement of companies in the ID (Belussi & Sedita, 2009;Boschma & Ter Wall, 2007;Pezoa-Fuentes & Vidal-Suñé, 2017), our study complements these findings focusing on analyzing its influence on a key variable within IDs, that is, knowledge acquisition. Additionally, the empirical results highlight the need for companies in IDs to develop relational mechanisms in order to take advantage of the potentiality of their greater sense of belonging to acquire external knowledge.…”

“…Molina‐Morales, Martínez‐Fernández, and Coll‐Serrano (2011) use the sense of belonging to delimit within the IDs the participation of companies in a core network or a periphery network, which are different in behavior and results. Pezoa‐Fuentes and Vidal‐Suñé (2017) also use this variable, analyzing its effect as an inhibiting factor of the activity relocation outside the cluster. Finally, the study by Molina‐Morales et al.…”

“…We also advance with respect to the study of Molina-Morales et al (2011), since these authors analyze the existence of differences between those companies that present a sense of belonging and those that do not, while our study analyzes the direct and indirect effect that sense of belonging, considered as a continuum, has on the knowledge acquisition. In addition, while Pezoa-Fuentes and Vidal-Suñé (2017) analyze the relocation of companies, our study aims to find out how the level of sense of belonging affects the key variables for agglomerated companies. Finally, in contrast to the study of Molina-Morales et al 2013our study does not analyze the determinants of the sense of belonging but rather its consequences on the knowledge acquisition.…”

This paper analyses the mediating role of interorganizational relations, specifically strength of ties and relational trust, in the relationship between the level of sense of belonging to the industrial district (ID) and firms' knowledge acquisition. Despite the significance of the sense of belonging in the field of IDs, there are hardly any studies that directly address the implications of this sense of belonging on key variables in the field of ID, such as knowledge acquisition. This is due to its subjective and complex nature, meaning it is difficult to measure (Molina-Morales & Vázquez, 2007). Furthermore, since IDs are configured as a network of interorganizational relationships (McEvily & Zaheer, 1999), and

Creativity and innovation are considered critical factors in promoting the competitiveness of small and medium-sized enterprises. The directors of these companies seek to know how to transform the results of creativity into innovation. Therefore, there is a growing interest in looking more deeply into the elements that affect creativity and innovation. This study analyses the following aspects: (a) The effect of the creative process on product and process innovation, (b) the role of knowledge management (KM) in the creative process, and (c) the role of industrial clusters in KM and the creative process. The research model is validated using Partial Least Squares data from industrial SMEs in Chile. The findings demonstrate the influence of industrial clusters on KM and the creative process and the impact of knowledge creation on the creative process. Our results enable a broader understanding of SMEs’ creativity and innovation model.
