Abstract

The chapter examines the ways firms benefit from knowledge spillovers in industrial clusters. Clustered firms are eight times more innovative when located in clusters with strong specialization in their own technology. While the literature on organization agglomeration has highlighted a potential trade-off between the benefit and cost of co-location in terms of knowledge spillovers, our findings are that agglomerations are important to new innovative-driven ventures. However, our research also indicates that although on average new ventures benefit from agglomeration, more work is needed to explore the mechanisms by which some organizations benefit from co-location and knowledge spillovers while others may not.
