Clusters - a group of geographically proximate firms- can be the source of competitive advantage both at firm and cluster level. Knowledge, social capital and their interplay have been found to be major contributors to this advantage. However, the dynamics behind, and hence the question how it happens, have received considerably less attention. This project aims address this gap by unveiling the dynamics of social capital through which knowledge is developed for competitive advantage in clusters. Unveiling those dynamics will contribute to theory by exploring how some of the benefits of clustering are created through knowledge and social capital, and hence provide an explanation why clusters exist in the first place.
