“…It is interesting to note that the role of state R&D institutions, quite central in the industrial cluster literature (e.g., Knorringa ; Perez‐Aleman ; Yap ), is underexplored in the IS literature, with few exceptions (Van Beers et al. ; Liwarska‐Bizukojc et al.…”

“…Trust can be established even in “deserts of trust” (Locke , 12). Civil society institutions, for example, business associations and R&D institutes, play a central role as demonstrated in industrial clusters in Pakistan (Nadvi ), Chile (Perez‐Aleman ), in the EIP in Kwinana, Australia (Van Beers et al. ), and in the Netherlands (Heeres et al.…”

Summary Industrial symbiosis (IS) is the process by which by‐products are revalorized and exchanged among distinct business entities. The literature suggests that IS can bring financial, social, and environmental benefits to firms and society. Analytical tools have been developed for uncovering IS arrangements and guidelines suggested for designing IS arrangements where they do not yet exist. Despite these suggested benefits and in spite of these tools, few planned IS arrangements have successfully materialized, with notable exceptions in East Asia. Understanding why IS networks emerge and expand or falter requires both macro‐ and micro‐level analysis. Some explanatory factors have been extensively covered in the IS literature, such as the important role of coordinating organizations. But the analysis of enterprise‐level actions and strategies as well as the conditions in the external environment that act on the enterprises and the network are not as well examined. The article outlines an analytical framework that draws upon insights from research on cleaner production, corporate social responsibility, diffusion of innovation, and the role of the state in development. The framework is consistent with the view that the evolution of IS networks is characterized by “equifinality.” Different networks may achieve IS as a result of quite different combinations of factors. No general theory of IS success or decline is offered because no such theory can be expected. IS emergence, development, and disruption is approached as a problem of sociohistorical analysis. For such phenomena, analytical frameworks provide a common explanatory starting point, but no predictive power.

“…These findings are backed by a report produced by the OECD (2007). Public initiatives at the start-up stage, such as government programs that promote entrepreneurial endeavors, ground-breaking research or simply testing of the projects' feasibility, can trigger discussions between private firms, research institutions and public organizations, which may result in cluster creation (Perez-Aleman, 2000Rosiello & Orsenigo, 2008). Moreover, it is important for private and public initiatives to be coordinated and to complement each other, being able to build on existing, e.g.…”

Business services have been receiving increasing attention from academics, practitioners and policy-makers. Despite the growing interest, this field of research suffers from several limitations: it draws mostly on services marketing theory, and it is grounded mostly in monadic and dyadic studies. This paper contributes to the advance of business services research by addressing these limitations with regard to a specific service-related issue. We carry out an interdisciplinary study by integrating among others an industrial network approach (INA) into the services area, and we thus develop the research at a network level by adopting a services network perspective; furthermore, the study is carried out in a business-to-business context by looking into a health cluster: the Health Cluster Portugal. The article addresses one particular aspect of business services networks: their emergence. We propose a conceptual framework that draws on process-based research and integrates theories from other bodies of research, allowing a rich understanding of how a business service network is created. Our findings point to discontinuities along the emergence of such networks, showing that there is an iterative process underlying their formation, with different theories playing a predominant explanatory role at different stages. This paper contributes to the wider body of literature on services research by promoting the integration of the INA and other process-related approaches in the area of business services networks, and also provides practitioners and policy-makers with a structured framework to understand how an intentional 'bottom-up' business service network may be created or orchestrated.
