"""In the dense field of cluster research, it is challenging to come up with a new perspective on the topic. Yet Sarah Giest’s recent publication, The Capacity to Innovate, does precisely that. It examines the process of cluster development from the novel lens of cluster management, deploying the concepts of collaborative and absorptive capacity to study the role of cluster managers in building, sustaining and expanding cluster development."" -- David A.
