Abstract

En este trabajo analizamos el papel de la estrategia de conocimiento en explotación para explicar la relación entre capital social en su dimensión bonding y la innovación incremental en el ámbito de los clusters. Hemos aplicado un modelo estructural sobre una muestra de 215 empresas del sector de turismo cultural de las Ciudades Patrimonio de la Humanidad de Espana. Los resultados revelan la existencia de un efecto indirecto significativo del bonding capital sobre la innovación incremental a través del desarrollo de una estrategia de conocimiento en explotación. Estos resultados sugieren que si las empresas de un cluster de turismo cultural son capaces de aprovechar sus redes densas y vínculos fuertes para implantar estrategias de conocimiento en explotación, tenderán a desarrollar mayores innovaciones incrementales. / In this paper we analyse the role of exploitation knowledge strategy to explain the relationship between social capital in its bonding dimension and incremental innovation dimension in the field of clusters. To do this, on a sample of 215 cultural tourism companies in World Heritage Cities of Spain, we applied a structural model that allows us to detect a significant indirect effect to bonding capital in incremental innovation through the development of a exploitation knowledge strategy. The results suggest that if firms in a cultural tourism cluster are able to leverage their strong ties and dense networks to implement exploitation knowledge strategies, tend to develop more incremental innovations
