Industry clusters across national borders: literature review and research deficits

Bringing borders back into cross-border regional innovation systems: Functions and dynamics

“…The literature on CBRIS draws from several earlier concepts of localized learning and innovation, such as clusters and learning regions (Maskell and Törnqvist, 1999; Rohde, 2016), but is particularly embedded in the literature on RIS. Since the establishment of the concept in the early 1990s, the literature on RIS has investigated their development in different geographical settings.…”

Industry clusters at the European borderland of Russia: the dynamics of formation in the 2000s

“…Например, винный кластер в Калифорнии, изначально сформировавшийся вокруг агропромышленного комплекса, позволил обеспечить деятельность туристско-рекреационного комплекса и сферы образования [27]. Развитие фармацевтической отрасли в столичном регионе Дании провело к образованию крупнейшего в Европе трансграничного медико-биологического кластера [36]. Однако данные процессы растянуты во времени, и остаётся открытым вопрос возможности искусственного создания кластеров [39] и их последующей устойчивости в долгосрочном периоде.…”

Exploring the role of cross-border regional factors in innovation in the agri-food sector

“…However, research also showed that start-ups can already benefit from cross-border relationships if these are well planned (Dashti and Schwartz 2018). Hence, cross-border relationships with business partners and actors other than universities are important for the innovation process, but a literature review on cross-border cluster development revealed that research on establishing cross-border linkages is still limited (Rohde 2016). We observed socio-cultural factors when initiating relationships with actors abroad but enterprises perceived different mind-sets as beneficial for the innovation process (RES1).…”

“…Three literature reviews identified significant gaps in cross-border research which can help explain why cross-border regions hold untapped economic potential. One literature review on cross-border cluster development revealed that research on establishing crossborder linkages is limited (Rohde 2016). Another literature review on the distribution of disciplines identified that only 5% of the studies focused on business management and only 1% on the agricultural sector (Makkonen and Williams 2016).…”
