| Tiivistelmä: | This study deals with the relationship btw. clusters and the growth performance of new U.S. technology-based firms. Firms are argued to be benefiting due to the clustering providing access to specialized resources which cannot be developed internally. Distance from a cluster is indicated to be negatively related to growth. Yet, clustering has a greater positive impact on biotech firms. Proximity to a cluster within a diverse metropolitan area is linked with superiour growth performance merely for firms relying heavily on broad, downstream supply chain effects, that is, for information and communications technology companies. |
