Abstract:

This article provides an overview of research works on temporary clusters. The term “temporary cluster” is used to describe and analyze the temporal form of inter-organizational interactions observed at such events as conferences, trade shows or congresses. The review reveals this concept background, analyzes the main theoretical and empirical studies devoted to this phenomenon, and identifies gaps and important issues for further research works.
