“…This result is in line with other studies, like Belso-Martínez (2006), Mittelstaedt, Ward and Nowlin (2006), and Fernhaber, Gilbert and McDougall (2008). In general, the cluster's resources as institutional, local resources and business network are important sources to contribute for development of internal resources and capabilities of firms (McCann & Folta, 2008;Molina-Morales & Martínez-Fernández, 2004).…”

“…In collaboration with this perspective, Glaeser and Kerr (2009) indicate the integration of the cluster agents that promotes the development of new ideas and knowledge transfer. Overall, companies located in clusters hold access to shared resources that enable superior performance compared to companies outside clusters (MolinaMorales & Martínez-Fernández, 2004). …”

Regional clusters and innovations in product and processes are found in the literature as important determinants of firms' export performance. However, this relationship is still controversial and very highly constrained by industry, and by regions. Based on a more integrative perspective, the aim of the present article is to investigate the role of agglomeration economies of a regional cluster on the export performance of firms. Furthermore, we will test the mediating effect of innovation and the extent by which the technological intensity of the industry can perform a moderating effect between the constructs. Based on a sample of 100 export companies operating in the manufacturing industries, we use structural equation modeling to estimate the determinants of export performance. The results reveal that the agglomeration economies of a regional cluster have been found determinant factors of the export performance, as well as a significant source to generate innovations by firms. However, we found no evidence between the innovations in products and processes and export performance. The results have also shown that there are no differences among technological intensity of the industries, suggesting that the firms will access agglomeration resources of regional cluster in a complementary way to their internal resources.

“…Dentro de ese enfoque se han trazado diferentes líneas, no excluyentes, que han estudiado el origen de los mismos, estructura, evolución, etc. En la literatura más empresarial podemos destacar la encargada de su delimitación geográfica/mapeo (Boix & Galleto, 2005) y conceptual (Martin & Sunley, 2011), la del análisis del efecto que esas aglomeraciones tienen sobre el comportamiento estratégico y performance de las empresas (Neffke y otros, 2011), y la del diagnóstico de los determinantes por las que esos entes territoriales exhiben un desigual rendimiento (Molina-Morales & Martínez-Fernández, 2004). Todo ello se ha traducido en una vasta producción científica que desde diferentes tradiciones investigadoras han tratado de ordenar y caracterizar toda esa literatura, tal y como lo evidencian los trabajos de Hervas-Oliver y otros (2015).…”

“…Within this approach, different but not exclusive lines of research have studied issues such as the origin, structure, evolution, etc. Business literature highlights the study of the geographical delimitation/ mapping (Boix & Galleto, 2005) and conceptual clarification (Martin & Sunley, 2011), the analysis of the effect that these agglomerations have on the strategic behaviour and performance of companies (Neffke et al, 2011), and the diagnostic of the determinants by which these territorial entities exhibit a heterogeneous performance (Molina-Morales & Martínez-Fernández, 2004). All this has been translated into a vast scientific production that, from different research approaches, have tried to structure and characterize that literature, as shown by Hervas-Oliver et al (2015).…”

ResumenLa cooperación empresarial y el intercambio de información y conocimientos son acciones y decisiones que las empresas pueden poner en práctica para competir más eficazmente en entornos globalizados. Esas opciones son más relevantes para las pequeñas y medianas empresas (PYMEs) que deciden acceder y expandirse en y hacia nuevos mercados internacionales. La existencia de esas redes, tanto en origen como en destino, estimula la creación y adquisición de un capital social que permite a los miembros incrementar su capacidad competitiva internacional. El estudio de esas interacciones permitirá mejorar la eficacia del efecto clúster y sus mecanismos.Palabras clave: clúster, internacionalización, redes, capital social.Clasificación JEL: M2, L1.

“…Yet, the recursive inter-relations of internal and inter-organisational resources are important for firms to realise profits in cluster environments, and this is left open by the relational view (Duschek and Sydow 2002). Although there is evidence that firms can improve their internal capabilities by keeping up relations to other local institutions (McEvily and Zaheer 1999;Molina-Morales and Martinez-Fernández 2004) and hence benefit from participating in flows of knowledge, a clear understanding of what is required for an effective participation in clusters is still a rather blind spot.…”

Kirch (2017): Introducing the T-shaped model of cluster competence -an integrative framework and first empirical evidence from the German craftsmen sector, Industry and Innovation To link to this article: http://dx. ABSTRACTAlthough cluster research has been an enormously vivid field in the past years, the idea that firms' individual competences influence the knowledge gain from collocation is still under-researched. In this paper, we aim to fill this gap in two steps. First, we derive four firm-specific cluster competences from existing literature as key components of a T-shaped model which is based on the resource and the relational view on knowledge spillovers. Second, we evaluate the explanatory power of our model in terms of firm success by conducting empirical testing on the basis of several logistic regressions in the form of proportional odds models. For this purpose, we use a hitherto unexploited firm-level data set, gained from a survey conducted among small and medium-sized craft businesses in Germany. The results provide evidence that idiosyncratic cluster competences on the firm level are supportive of firm success in business clusters.
