Abstract: The issue of organizational proximity within clusters remains largely underexplored, especially in the field of KIBS (Knowledge-Intensive Business Services). The objective of this paper is to explore the relational role that can be played by the governance structure of a cluster to improve the innovation performance of its members through the implementation of various practices. The empirical research is based on a representative sample of 53 KIBS in Technolac Savoie in the French Rhone-Alpes region. Our results suggest that, in addition to the traditional determinants of KIBS innovation, governance structure (as a service) has a direct impact on KIBS innovation within a technopole and an indirect role in R&D partnerships This governance has a critical role in the creation of structures and communication interfaces between KIBS, essential for their innovation. This research has important implications for the evaluation of the actions of the governance structure in technopoles.
