This article focuses on the innovation and knowledge evolution of industry clusters. We examine the effects of the hub firm and the interaction of network member firms on the upgrading of the cluster. Our study is based on two patterns of knowledge learning and innovation, namely, STI (science, technology, and innovation) and DUI (doing, using, and interacting). This article adopts a knowledge diffusion simulation model to study the exchange of knowledge between cluster network actors in the context of small-world networks. The results indicate that we must pay close attention to the influence of hub enterprises on cluster evolution. Although hub companies may have certain innovation capabilities, if knowledge absorption problems among members are not properly resolved in the cluster network, the innovation performance of the local clusters is likely to be weakened, despite the success of the hub firm.

Understanding the interactions between the components of a system is key to understanding it. In complex systems, interactions are usually not uniform, not isotropic and not homogeneous: each interaction can be specific between elements.Networks are a tool for keeping track of who is interacting with whom, at what strength, when, and in what way. Networks are essential for understanding of the co-evolution and phase diagrams of complex systems. Here we provide a self-contained introduction to the field of network science. We introduce ways of representing and handle networks mathematically and introduce the basic vocabulary and definitions. The notions of random- and complex networks are reviewed as well as the notions of small world networks, simple preferentially grown networks, community detection, and generalized multilayer networks.
