| Interaction process/Relationship environment |
| Lone clusters lack the knowledge and resources required to support the internationalization process, i.e. a sequential learning process (Osarenkhoe and Fjellström, 2021; Johanson and Vahlne, 2009) The role of the hub-firm in developing innovation capabilities (Kumar et al., 2022) Inter-firm competitive rivalry and collaboration in clusters (Singh et al., 2022) Innovation ecosystems (Spicka, 2022) |
| Interaction parties or partners |
| Knowledge and innovation happens in interactions among various stakeholders (Baraldi and Waluszewski, 2005; Håkansson and Waluszewski, 2002; Singh et al., 2022; Spicka, 2022; Kumar et al., 2022; Chatterjee et al., 2022; Del Vecchio et al., 2020) |
| Relationship atmosphere |
| Strong interactions among clusters and their stakeholders bring opportunities in the network (Pavelkova et al., 2015; Morgulis-Yakushev and Sölvell, 2017; Jankowska and Główka, 2016; Sölvell and Lindqvist, 2011; Singh et al., 2022; Spicka, 2022; Kumar et al., 2022) |
