Shifting away from traditional approaches orientated towards the analysis of the benefits
associated with brokerage, this paper provides valuable insights into the dynamics of this network
position and the opportunities to innovate that it provides. Using fine grain micro data collected
in a foodstuff Spanish cluster, the evolution of different brokerage profiles is analyzed in depth.
It was particularly evident how firm-level characteristics (status, former mediating experience and
external openness) and their interactions may generate changes in the different brokerage roles over
a period of time. The findings of this work partially validate expectations based on the network
dynamics approaches. Status and previous mediating experience facilitate the creation of partnerships,
fostering brokerage. Conversely, interaction effects demote brokerage activity at the intra-cluster
level, suggesting the selective nature of brokers’ relational behavior. [-]
