Abstract
This study investigates the dynamics of knowledge integration in cluster contexts that influence the success of collaborative innovation projects. Innovation is increasingly viewed as a collective action, which involves heterogeneous actors that exchange and combine their knowledge. In this view, many studies focus on how clusters contexts facilitate the exchange of knowledge but we still know relatively little about how clusters facilitate the combination of knowledge among heterogeneous actors. The Combination process appears to be a critical point to foster successful knowledge integration that would conduct to innovation collaborations. This is the aim of this paper: explore the micro- mechanisms that explain how a cluster' structure can favours knowledge integration, with a specific focus on the combination process, and why these micro-mechanisms are critical for collaborative innovation projects to arise locally. Following a qualitative methodology (grounded theory) based on a case study research de...
