“…The literature on clusters stresses the role of knowledge interactions among complementary firms (Cooke, 2001), especially in high-tech sectors where knowledge generation depends on the combination of existing and fragmented knowledge (Antonelli, 2006). A striking argument is that geographical proximity favors tacit knowledge interactions among cognitively distant firms.…”

One of the most convincing explanations papers generally provide concerning clusters in knowledge-based economies refers to the geographically bounded dimension of knowledge spillovers. Here, we shall underline that location decision externalities precede local knowledge spillovers in the explanation of cluster aggregate efficiency, which thus requires us to focus on the sequential process of location and the nature of interdependences in location decision-making. To that end, we mean to associate cluster emergence with the formation of locational norms, and to study the critical parameters of their stability. These parameters relate to the type of decision externalities among more or less cognitively distant firms, which influences the weight and the resulting ambivalent role of knowledge spillovers at the aggregate level of clusters. We suggest two theoretical propositions which we test within a simple and general norm location dynamics modeling framework. We then proceed to discuss the results so obtained by comparing them with an emerging related literature based on the life cycle and viability of clusters.

“…These include "Silicon Dominion" in northern Virginia, "Silicon Island" in Taiwan, "Silicon Alps" in Austria, and "Silicon Saxony" in eastern Germany (Bresnahan, Gambardella, & Saxenian, 2001;Haavind, 1999;Karnath, 1998;Matthews, 1997;Porter, 1998). The success of such regions has considerable relevance for practicing managers and public policy officials, and has attracted much attention from scholars in management, (e.g., Porter, 1990Porter, , 1998Tallman, Jenkins, Henry, & Pinch, 2004), public policy (e.g., Saxenian, 1994), and economics (e.g., Cooke, 2001). As Zaheer and Manrakhan (2001) observe, such regional success is all the more important for managers and policymakers alike to understand in an era of globalization and increased foreign direct investment, inexpensive communication, and mobile labor markets (Reid, DeMartino, & Zyglidopoulos, 2005).…”

Innovation process research is changing. In addition to the former territorial approach (examining countries or regions), the description of innovation cooperation in local areas is becoming more and more accepted. Instead of the innovation ability of the traditional large enterprises, research has begun to study the role of small and medium-sized enterprises, non-governmental organizations, local governments, and educational institutions (especially universities), which foreshadows the development of a new innovation system. In 2015, we conducted a study focusing on the civil and corporate relations of a major university. We tried to determine the new directions based on the economic and social cooperation as well as to search for the practical implementation of the theoretical helixes in these interactions. We came to the conclusion that universities not only are determinative according to the triple helix model but also have a prominent role in the creation of new innovation ecosystems, particularly in a well-defined geographical area.
