Summary of perspectives

Theoretical perspectiveAuthorsHighlights
Innovation and learning
Innovation takes place in the interaction
Van de Ven et al. (1999), Baraldi and Waluszewski (2005), Håkansson and Waluszewski (2002), Spicka (2022), Chatterjee et al. (2022), Del Vecchio et al. (2020) Innovation is a process that takes place in the interaction between the focal company or organization and its environment. Inter-firm competition
Cluster initiatives
Offer a setting for different stakeholders, including companies, to interact effectively with each other and with other institutions, to work together, and to learn
Sölvell (2009), Morgulis-Yakushev and Sölvell (2017)
Osarenkhoe and Fjellström (2017), Osarenkhoe and Fjellström (2021), Kumar et al. (2022), Spicka (2022) 
“Innovation is born out of reshuffling resources inside and outside of the firm and takes into consideration the mutual value creation of those (innovators) involved” Osarenkhoe and Fjellström (2021) (p.3)
A hub for developing innovation capabilities
Cluster interactions
The firm-to-global gap addresses the linkages of actors inside clusters to global markets and value chains, i.e. the gap between cluster firms and global markets and value chains
Pavelkova et al. (2015), Morgulis-Yakushev and Sölvell (2017), Jankowska and Główka (2016), Sölvell and Lindqvist (2011), Singh et al. (2022) Whereas a lack of interactions between cluster actors can limit mobility, collaboration, and the dissemination of knowledge, strong interactions can support these activities

Håkansson (1982), Håkansson et al. (2009), Håkansson and Snehota (2017b), Caraça et al. (2009), Mikhaylova (2014), Kumar et al. (2022), Spicka (2022), Chatterjee et al. (2022), Del Vecchio et al.
