Business Relationships Co-create Value
Collective learning, which includes organizational learning that promotes synergy inside the clustered firm (Fiol and Lyles, 1985);
Relative absorptive capacity, which helps search for ‘teacher firms’ with higher technological capabilities both inside and outside industrial clusters (Lane and Lubatkin, 1998); and
The exchange and combination of resources, which realizes the accomplishment of exchange and combination of technology resources among firms with relative absorptive capability (Molina-Morales, 2001)
