Do Localized Clusters Influence Creativity of Inventors?

Do localized clusters affect the creativity of inventors? What contributes to the creative environment of localized clusters that increases innovation output? This paper presents the results of a study investigating the environment of localized clusters and how it affects the creativity of individual inventors working in those clusters. The subjects for the study are inventors in the telecommunication industry who filed for patents individually or collectively. Localized clusters for telecoms are identified, and inventors are asked to rate the different influences existing in their local environment and how they affected the way the inventors came up with the ideas behind their inventions. Local influences are categorized under direct sources of ideas, stimuli in the local environment, and situations that take place locally. The ratings given to the importance of each category are evaluated and compared to each other, focusing on what to look for in clusters in order to further enhance the creativity of the innovators in those areas.
