The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Creative Cities, Creative Spaces and Urban Policy (2009, background): “The collective nouns used to identify these economic activities are also applied interchangeably, which confuses the notion of a cluster as both a geographical and an economic concept (Malmberg and Power, 2006).”
A Network-based view of regional growth (2014, background): “According to Malmberg and Power (2006) ‘knowledge in clusters is seldom created through local inter-organizational collaborative interaction….in a localized cluster the majority of firms tend to have most of their important suppliers and customers somewhere else and innovation and knowledge…”
SPACES OF KNOWLEDGE FLOWS: CLUSTERS IN A GLOBAL CONTEXT (2005, background): “These intra-cluster relationships promote the local circulation of knowledge, underpinning the learning processes that enable firms to succeed at innovation (a finding that would appear to support the arguments in Malmberg and Power 2005b).”
What is global and what is local in knowledge-generating interaction? The case of the biotech cluster in Uppsala, Sweden (2007, background): “As discussed in Malmberg (2003) and Malmberg and Power (2006) it is problematic that the cluster concept as such has gradually taken on a number of distinctly different meanings, such that it is not always clear which of these should be included in the definition of the concept.”
