| Description: |
This paper assesses the effects of network involvement on firm-level innovation. Results from a structural network analysis of firms in a regional photonics cluster in Germany indicate that clique overlap is a much better predictor of firm-level innovation in clusters than a firm’s centrality, measured by the number of direct ties. The paper concludes with implications for network and cluster theory and for managing firms and networks in regional high-tech clusters. |
