Geographic Clusters And Firm Innovation, Alex Vestal
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Scholars dating back to the early 1900s have been interested in the idea that organizations benefit from locating in close proximity to other similar organizations (Marshall, 1920).

This dissertation argues that in order to access local knowledge, firms must be active participants in the local research community. Furthermore, in clusters where …
