This paper focuses on the effects of social capital on industrial clusters. Close networks
with strong ties provide benefits for the companies involved in terms of knowledge flow; however,
they can also have some negative effects such as knowledge redundancy and obsolescence. We
propose an explanatory model to study factors and mediators affecting the redundancy of
transmitted knowledge. The model has been applied to a sample of 152 companies in two Spanish
industrial clusters. Findings suggest that although strength of ties was associated with
redundancy, structural dispersion and local institutions have a negative effect on knowledge
redundancy. The findings have a number of relevant implications for individual firms and their
policies. [-]
