Abstract: In this paper, we highlight how inter-firm collaboration networks are influenced by the knowledge composition of goods in an industry. For this purpose, we carry out an agent-based simulation study in which firms integrate their competencies under different knowledge-based regimes. In this way networks form. The results reveal that knowledge regime significantly influences the network structure, and interaction among firms not only is very intensive when the products are specialized but also have common knowledge among them.
