Highlights
Network relations among organisations are treated as one of the structural characteristics of clusters and the basis of cluster competitiveness
The aim of the article is to present selected models for development of an innovation network in clusters based on abreview of empirical research, as well as to indicate the possibility of using this knowledge in entrepreneurs’ decisions
The benefits generated by networks include primarily low costs of concluding and performing market contracts and the development of specialist knowledge that is absource of innovation (Saxenian, 2000; Gancarczyk, 2017)
Summary
Network relations among organisations are treated as one of the structural characteristics of clusters and the basis of cluster competitiveness. The activity of enterprises located in clusters affects the processes oriented towards absystem of internal or external links. The processes based on the construction of external (international) links, associated with the relocation of selected elements of the value chain, allow isolation to be avoided and positive effects of the network to be produced (Gancarczyk & Gancarczyk, 2011, 2018). The aim of the article is to present selected models for development of an innovation network in clusters based on abreview of empirical research, as well as to indicate the possibility of using this knowledge in entrepreneurs’ decisions. The analysis and conclusion was based on the literature on the concept of the network and on the results of empirical research of other authors related to the activity of companies in clusters. The article uses literature studies in the field of cluster concepts and empirical studies on evolution within the considered phenomenon
