“Brits Find Big Brands On Social Networks A Turn-Off”

sharing ideas• Promotes the development of new companies• Increased number of opportunities/new opportunities/ability

• (Answer: Create positive culture / up to members to be competitive)
• Breakdown of relationship if use outside sources• (Answer: Create an ethical code / use internal mediation
team)• Competition with similar cluster members, risk of exclusivity
of ideas being compromised, copied or reproduced.• (Answer: Weigh up the risks as you would for any business
venture)
Summary – With and Without SMECluster
