Abstract

Much of the research on clusters refers to trajectories as a central feature of regional development. In this article, we explore changes within a French perfume cluster to show how a theory of cluster trajectory could be improved by an analysis of this specific case. Using central concepts from Mahoney's theory, we analyse the historical sequences of the development trajectory of this regional cluster and put forward a conceptual model and a case-study. In particular, we argue that embedded knowledge and innovation influence trajectory sequences in the long and discontinuous history of the cluster. Our research has also led us to identify some types of managerial behavior that support embedded knowledge.
