“…Secondly, by using relational data on the individual level rather than firm level, I might understand more accurately the motivations behind tie formation. Moreover, the direct measurement of how inherited network ties matter for industry clusters is also a promising area for future research (Bagley 2018). Further insights on the extent to which firms and entrepreneurs build on inherited capabilities, routines and previous experiences would help us understand better why spinoffs form more ties than other companies in clusters.…”

It is generally acknowledged that in order to have access to locally accumulated industrial knowledge, firms have to collaborate and take part in cluster knowledge networks. This study argues that the inherited capabilities of spinoff enable them to cooperate and exchange knowledge more easily and to gain more from positive knowledge externalities in clusters. The basis of the analysis is a relational dataset on a printing and paper product cluster in Hungary, and I use exponential random graph models to explain the formation of knowledge ties. I demonstrate that besides geographical proximity, ownership similarity and network structural effects, being a spinoff company enhances tie formation in the local network. Results suggest that spinoffs are indeed more likely to collaborate and take advantage of knowledge concentration.

“…Ter Wal (2013) shows, on a comparative basis, that small local spinoffs perform a key role in the establishment of dense collaboration networks in clusters. Furthermore, Bagley (2018) demonstrates that the personal ties of founders to parent companies influence the performance of spinoffs in clusters.…”

“…Nowadays, there is a large number of scientific publications on the cluster organization of the economy (Bagley, 2019;Cusmano, Morrison, & Pandolfo, 2015;Ivanov, Afanas'ev, & Chulanova, 2019;Martin & Coenen, 2015) and others. Institutional context and cluster emergence are considered by Stepanova and Polyakov (2019), Gegechkori, Polyakov, Nikitina, and Chudaeva (2019), aerospace clusters are analyzed in the works of Isupov, Martyshkin, and Prokhorov (2015), Ivanenko and Ivanenko (2015).…”

Today, clusters are a promising form of organizing the economic system in a market environment. The work of clusters leads to an increase in the growth rates of individual sectors of the economy, as well as the overall socio-economic development of a particular territory, in particular, an increase in the standard of living of the population. The functioning of clusters, the result of which is the delivery of high-tech products to the market, also contributes to the development of an innovative component, which in modern conditions, in which, for example, the Russian economy is located, is of particular importance. The cluster formations that produce high-tech products include aerospace clusters. The effectiveness of the cluster as a whole largely depends on the success of the functioning of its constituent organizations. This article discusses the functioning of two significant participants in the innovative territorial aerospace cluster of the Samara region at the present stage. When analyzing the financial and economic situation of these organizations, a rating system was applied -a method for comparative evaluation of the activities of several enterprises in a sector, region or competitors according to a certain system of indicators reflecting their financial condition. In particular, the presence of a difficult financial and economic situation in a number of indicators of one of the key enterprises of the cluster -Public Joint-Stock Company "Kuznetsov" -is revealed. Using the same methodology, the results of the functioning of another important member of the cluster -Joint-Stock Company "Metallist-Samara" -were analyzed.

“…Measuring the network from the perspective of the main component is not a new concept. SeeBagley (2018),Borgatti (2006),Gulati et al (2012), andDavis et al (2003) andUzzi and Spiro (2005) for further reasoning behind this method.…”

Prior studies show that the success of firms in industrial clusters is the result of two main reasons; the transfer of knowledge and routines from parent firms to spinoffs that locate in the same locality, and the returns from co-location of firms. While previous research has largely inferred the presence of parent-spinoff networks, few studies have measured them. Furthermore, the lack of geographic precision has led to conflicting results for evidence of returns from location, as the gains from geographic proximity may not always be linear. This paper introduces network measurement and a refined geographic measure to separate these two respective channels of knowledge transfer, and analyzes their impact on firm survival (as a proxy for firm success). It is found that the gains with respect to location are nonlinear. Furthermore, a firm's historical links formed through parent-spinoff linkages have a significant impact on survival, which differ depending on the motivations of the entrepreneur. Moreover, these channels of knowledge are complementary in nature.
