Abstract:

Even though cluster-based economic development has become more appearing, there has been much argument on various aspect of clusters. One going debate concerns some clusters generate high innovation associated with economic growth. The purpose of this stud is to illustrate the utility of inter-cluster pipelines for securing high knowledge creation and growth rates. As inter-cluster pipelines are based on social relations and ties, in addition to economic geography literature, we use social network theory (SNT). One advantage of SNT is that it enables to explore the processes of how pipelines are created and the potential value of them
