Business formations and regional clusters. A stage model with quantitative, qualitative and systemic factors.
Pages 131 - 149

Although the formation of firms and regional clusters are two processes that have separately attracted a lot of scientific attention during recent years, not much research has been conducted to analyse the interrelation between these two processes. This contribution presents a theoretical framework for the analysis of the connection of firm and cluster formation. We argue that both the influence of new firms on the cluster and the reversed influence of the cluster on firm formations depend on the developmental stage of the cluster.
