“…Porter (1990Porter ( , 2000 emphasized spatially bound "clusters", characterized as "geographic concentrations of interconnected companies, specialized suppliers, service providers, firms in related industries, and associated institutions (e.g., universities, standards agencies, trade associations) in a particular field that compete and also cooperate". Proximity facilitates an increased number of interactions between related firms, largely as a function of high spatial concentration, which in turn enhances the coordination and control of firm activities within the supply chain and facilitates frequent and repeated inter-firm knowledge, information sharing and collaboration (Zhao et al, 2010).…”

“…KIBS and ICT issues taken together in the field of knowledge management are much less frequently the subject of analysis, while there is virtually no research devoted to the new category of KIBS, which are professional event services. Existing research mainly concerns the relationship between KIBS and ICT as equal partners for cooperation and diffusion of knowledge (Kamp & Sisti, 2018;Ramadan, Dahiyat, Bontis, & Al-dalahmeh, 2017), the impact of ICT providers (as one of the types of KIBS) on the condition of companies (Vergara & Feldman, 2018;Kite, 2018) and/or on the whole economy (Broersma & Van Ark, 2007), and their influence on innovation performance (Audretsch & Belitski, 2018;Yan, Wen, & Huesig, 2010). While these studies have uncovered mutual relations between KIBS and ICT providers as entities cooperating with each other in knowledge transfer processes, the methods and techniques of using ICT among providers of professional business services still needs to be explored.…”

“…Our review of the literature made it possible to identify the existence of such networks, particularly in the following sectors: tourism (Sundbo et al 2007;Kofler et al 2018;Høegh-Guldberg et al 2018;Brandão et al 2018;Zach and Hill 2017;Booyens and Rogerson 2017), retailing (Cox and Mowatt 2004;Hidalgo and D'Alvano 2014), financial services (for example, strategic alliance between banks and fintechs), mobile services (Heikkinen and Still 2008; De Reuver and Bouwman 2012), transportation/logistics (Steinicke et al 2011), ICT services (Zhao et al 2010;Kim et al 2015), engineering services (Burdon et al 2015), cultural industry (Lin 2014), restaurants (Cho et al 2018), exhibition industry (Dawson et al 2014), etc. It should be noted that knowledge intensive business services, which are support agents for manufacturing firms in TINs, can be the main players in MSINs (Zhao et al 2010;Burdon et al 2015).…”
