This trend has been accompanied by a focus on how spatial proximity and the emergence of links between colocated actors may generate benefits for firms, namely, in the generation and diffusion of knowledge. By conceiving industrial agglomerations as territorially based networks, we argue that the dynamics in connections internal to those networks affect and are affected by local institutions as well as connections external to the territory. Our study of the injection mould industry cluster at Marinha Grande in Portugal suggests that firms profit from the emergence of relationships between colocated actors and other agglomeration benefits. However, we suggest that the potential of the industry to generate new knowledge appears to be founded on the patterns of interfirm connections, which selectively connect diverse capabilities both within and outside the agglomeration.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1068\/a3684","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2004,3,17]],"date-time":"2004-03-17T10:07:30Z","timestamp":1079518050000},"page":"263-278","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["Industrial Agglomerations as Localised Networks: The Case of the Portuguese Injection Mould Industry"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"36","author":[{"given":"Jo\u00e3o Q","family":"Mota","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto Superior de Economia e Gestao, Universidade Tecnica de Lisboa, Rua Miguel Lupi 20, 1200-725 Lisbon, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Lu\u00eds M","family":"de Castro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculdade de Economia, Universidade do Porto, Rua Dr Roberto Frias s\/n, 4200-464 Porto, Portugal"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2004,2,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-a3684","volume-title":"Data Collection in Context","author":"Ackroyd S","year":"1992"},{"key":"bibr2-a3684","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1068\/d170087"},{"key":"bibr3-a3684","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1350507698293004"},{"key":"bibr4-a3684","volume-title":"Industrial Networks: A New View of Reality","author":"Axelsson B","year":"1992"},{"key":"bibr5-a3684","first-page":"37","volume-title":"Industrial Districts and Inter-firm Co-operation in Italy","author":"Becattini G","year":"1990"},{"key":"bibr6-a3684","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0305-750X(99)00073-X"},{"key":"bibr7-a3684","volume-title":"The New Competition: Institutions of Industrial Restructuring","author":"Best M","year":"1990"},{"key":"bibr8-a3684","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/cpe\/18.1.105"},{"key":"bibr9-a3684","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"16","DOI":"10.1515\/9781503619180-006","volume-title":"The Silicon Valley Edge: A Habitat for Innovation and Entrepreneurship","author":"Brown J","year":"2000"},{"key":"bibr10-a3684","volume-title":"Innovation Networks: Spatial Perspectives","author":"Camagni R","year":"1991"},{"key":"bibr11-a3684","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2307\/3594105"},{"key":"bibr12-a3684","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/cje\/23.2.207"},{"key":"bibr13-a3684","first-page":"62","volume-title":"Industrial Networks: A New View of Reality","author":"Easton G","year":"1992"},{"key":"bibr14-a3684","first-page":"255","volume-title":"The Embedded Firm: On the Socioeconomics of Industrial Networks","author":"Grabher G","year":"1993"},{"key":"bibr15-a3684","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/00343409750132315"},{"key":"bibr16-a3684","volume-title":"Industrial Technological Development: A Network Approach","author":"H\u00e5kansson H","year":"1987"},{"key":"bibr17-a3684","first-page":"207","volume-title":"Networking in Dutch Industries","author":"H\u00e5kansson H","year":"1993"},{"key":"bibr18-a3684","volume-title":"Developing Relationships in Business Networks","author":"H\u00e5kansson H","year":"1995"},{"key":"bibr19-a3684","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0016-7185(93)90026-E"},{"key":"bibr20-a3684","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1068\/a32184"},{"key":"bibr21-a3684","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/096977649900600105"},{"key":"bibr22-a3684","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0016-7185(99)00027-5"},{"key":"bibr23-a3684","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/096977649900600103"},{"key":"bibr24-a3684","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/cje\/23.2.151"},{"key":"bibr25-a3684","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/icc\/8.2.235"},{"key":"bibr26-a3684","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0167-2681(98)00056-0"},{"key":"bibr27-a3684","first-page":"163","volume-title":"Economic Organization, Capabilities and Co-ordination\u2014Essays in Honour of G.
