This paper gives a review of prevailing cluster theories, as well as several examples from the real economy. Knowledge spillovers, inter-firm linkages and reduced business risks for start-up firms present some of the advantages that foster firms' innovative activity in clusters. The success of prominent clusters such as the Silicon Valley has encouraged governments to support the formation of clusters; however, technological changes might as well lead to failures of clusters. Despite the advances of a globalized economy, physical proximity in clusters has been shown to transmit input for innovation more successfully than virtual innovation networks.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Teresa Pavelka\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3656861668\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783656861669\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Grin Verlag\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/07\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 26\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.06d","brand":"Teresa Pavelka","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46383959736575,"sku":"9783656861669","price":36.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_73676a2b-21d8-42e9-bcfe-8780bac3b7e6.jpg?v=1733282214","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/innovation-clusters-teresa-pavelka-9783656861669","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
