We investigate whether clusters and networks impact differently a firm's ability to generate technological innovations in a longitudinal study of US based semiconductor firms. We further examine whether resource profiles of firms explains their differential ability to benefit from the network...

We examine the paradox of capabilities: although portfolio resources contribute to innovation success, and technologically capable firms have the ability to gain more such resources, firms' 'competency traps' and the tension between value creation and value protection reduce benefits from...

We develop a conceptual model and explain how a firm's cluster and network factors independently and jointly influence innovation catalysts and barriers and in turn enhance the firm's likelihood of generating technological innovations. Cluster competitive intensity and social interaction...
