South-East European Research Centre (SEERC)

The objective of this exploratory study of clusters in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) is to examine the nature of network relations, knowledge spillovers and innovativeness of BiH firms and the role geography and trust play in facilitating these. To understand the process of knowledge spillovers and innovation, this research will place firm level learning at the centre of cluster analyses with the objective of understanding how firmlevel and cluster-level and network processes interact. This work can serve as a source of valuable information for other researchers, development practioners and policy makers who design policies promoting clustering and inter-firm networks in South East Europe and in BiH in particular.
