“…We make use of the methodology employed in Beaudry and Swann (2001), Baptista and Swann (1998) and Swann and Prevezer (1996). In contrast to these studies, we do not use the employment within the own industry in a given political unit as a "global" measure of cluster strength.…”

Employment growth is positively affected by labor market pooling but this effect is not cluster-specific. The firms' probability of innovating is influenced by knowledge flows from scientific institutions and public information sources as well as rivalry and demanding customers. However, only the effect of demanding customers is cluster-specific. Terms of use: Documents in EconStor may

“…Not only can activities of such R&D research centers strengthen the research and innovative capacities of the firms already present in the clusters, they may also attract the entry of new firms that carry out their own research, development and innovation. Swann and Prevezer (1996) argue that new firms in biotechnology are strongly attracted to the presence of a strong science base at the location and Prevezer (1997) adds that new companies are also attracted by the entry of other new companies. Baptista and Swann (1999) find that by entry of new firms the cluster attracts even more other firms and that this cluster self-reinforcing effect could start out of the emergence of one strong firm.…”

Document publié chez l'éditeur commercialDocument issued by the commercial publisher Titre de la revue:Journal Title: The Journal of Technology Transfer AbstractIn this study we explore the patent ownership for the innovations created by Canadian nanotechnology inventors. We find that although there is a great innovative potential and inventive productivity among Canadian researchers, a lot of the intellectual property actually leaves the country: Around 50% of the nanotechnology patents invented by Canadian inventors are owned by foreign assignees. We also note the predominance of private companies among the patent owners. Almost one third of all the Canadian-invented nanotechnology patents is assigned to a single American firm, Xerox Corporation. Furthermore, we explore the role of Canadian nanotechnology star inventors. The results show that the fruits of their great inventive productivity are collected outside Canada.

“…Andersson T., Schwaag-Serger S., Sorvik J., and Wise Hansson E. define clustering as a process of the enterprises and other entities joint disposition within a concentrated geographical area, cooperation of a certain functional niche and within work alliances for enhancing these entities collective competitiveness (Andersson, Schwaag-Serger, Sorvik, & Wise Hansson, 2004). Other researchers (Swann & Prevezer, 1996;Bergman & Feser, 1999;Visser & Bosсhma, 2002;Vázquez-Barquero, 2006;Potter & Miranda, 2009;Villa & Antonelli, 2009;Monteiro, Noronha, & Neto, 2011;Wise & Johansson, 2012) adhere to this view.…”

The role of regional entrepreneurship is becoming the key point when forming Russian economy effective competitiveness and especially in terms of current world economic challenges, which determines Russian economy turbulence. The current research focuses on self-production conditions of these territorial systems clusters. A cluster's formation based on its members' self-production is thoroughly investigated in the research. The authors analyze clusters, their functions, and tasks definitions of economic analysis. The features of various territorial-production systems of the Russian Federation are considered in the article. Clusters competitive nature is clarified on the grounds of the analysis by using various resources and combinations of factors. An algorithm for forming business self-production conditions within a cluster is defined in the research. The research provides the analysis results of cluster business self-production formation conditions. The key integrating resource, which plays the role of a moving force for development of other resources that are necessary for forming business self-production conditions within a cluster, is elaborated in the article. On the basis of economic territorial systems with self-production features functioning analysis, the authors suggest a new economic approach to business system development by applying new cluster organization forms.
