Innovation Performance and Clusters - A Dynamic Capability Perspective on Regional Technology Clusters

While a strong research base on cluster assets exists, evidence on other factors such as capabilities, i.e. a local culture or networks, is anecdotal and dispersed across research streams. Nicole Röttmer sets out to identify and describe these capabilities, their impact on cluster innovativeness in the interplay with (proprietary) cluster resources and their development over time in a comprehensive model.

Dr. Nicole Röttmer wrote her dissertation under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Bernhard R. Katzy at the Center for Technology and Innovation Management at the University of Leiden.
