This chapter aims to explore opportunities, challenges and problems of community of practice (CoP) in rising economies. This subject is explored through the case study of the performance of a CoP of entrepreneurs of startup from the Belo Horizonte ICT's cluster of innovation, Brazil. Our objective is to confront this informal organization to the normative orientation of cluster in which they can emerge in an innovation context and pursue its performance. The analysis of the development of this CoP, from its creation to nowadays, shows how the CoP quickly becomes the leverage of a regional innovation dynamism. Findings show also the performance behavior of the CoP facing the normative pressure from the innovation cluster created in that region.

Purpose This paper aims to discuss and present the regional-innovation cluster policy for R&D efficiency and the creative economy. In particular, the R&D efficiency and creative economy of Daedeok Innopolis are discussed for the science and technology policy of the R&D regional-innovation cluster. In this research, the region cluster policy change, the creative innovation system construction, the manpower system construction and the support unification for R&D and commercialization are presented as policy proposals for R&D efficiency and the creative economy. Design/methodology/approach In this research, the universities, research institutes and enterprises of Daedeok Innopolis were studied. Thirty people from the universities in the area, 30 from the research institutes and 30 from the enterprises were surveyed through the quota sampling of the non-probability sampling method for this research. These survey respondents were science and technology policy specialists for the R&D, industrialization and entrepreneurial activities of Daedeok Innopolis. The methodological material is a questionnaire. The study’s investigation factors were the government’s role, knowledge creation and the network. Also, F-test, ANOVA and chi-square independence test were utilized for the survey data analysis. Findings Regional-innovation cluster construction is a representative method of realizing regional development and competition enhancement. This research was found through the analysis that the government policy is very useful for innovation ecosystem development. The knowledge capability has been enhanced in connection with knowledge creation. Also, the network has been vitalized. New-dimension industry–university–institute collaboration and a human resource management system are needed for R&D efficiency and the creative economy. Daedeok Innopolis needs consistent support for industrialization and foundation. Social implications Movement of and cooperation among humans, goods, knowledge, technologies, etc., occur in many areas (science, the economy, culture, arts, etc.) because of the compression of time and space through informatization and globalization. This has brought about changes in cross-border, regional and national relations and has stimulated competition in the aforementioned areas. To date, a state-dominated system has been operated to deal with these changes, but it has been shown to be inefficient because it cannot reflect the conditions in the region and does not allow quick reaction. The advantages of the region must be identified and utilized to boost the survival and development of the region. Regional-innovation cluster construction is a representative method of realizing regional development and competition enhancement. Originality/value The innovative feature of the study is proposed the science and technology policy (the region cluster policy change, the creative innovation system construction, the manpower system construction and the support unification for R&D and commercialization) for the R&D regional-innovation cluster through the survey data analysis. In this paper, the R&D efficiency and the creative economy of Daedeok Innopolis are discussed for the science and technology policy of the R&D regional-innovation cluster. The science and technology policy for the R&D regional-innovation cluster development is examined for the first time in this paper. This research is expected to make a significant contribution to the establishment of a development strategy for the regional-innovation cluster, and to the decision-making regarding the science and technology policy.

The article presents the information on the research in the framework of the regional innovation platform “Development of a common legal educational space in the educational innovation cluster”. The article shows a model of a cluster as a form of networking to address common challenges such educational organizations as: kindergarten, secondary school and continuing education Centre of the city of Smolensk; it examines the conditions for the development of a common legal education area; stresses the importance of social partnership departmental and interdepartmental structures. This paper describes the principle of cyclicality as the basis for the construction of a continuous management process, notes the importance of research for the development and generalization of the information-methodical management experience development of single legal educational space on a scientifi c basis, emphasizes the role of monitoring to evaluate the eff ectiveness of the innovation project.

The literature suggests that the success of innovation clusters is based on personal networks that connect members of scientific, educational, and business organizations, stimulating more formalized cross-boundary collaborations between the three sectors. But it is still unclear if such organizational collaborations actually correspond with these personal ties and which aspects of personal communication are most strongly associated with organizational collaborations. To investigate these issues, the authors applied network analysis to study an innovation cluster in Algarve, Portugal. They found that cross-boundary organizational collaborations corresponded with personal ties. Moreover, they found that collaborations appeared to correlate most strongly with emotional attachments between individuals.

As a rule, the innovation environment is considered within the boundaries of a specific region, taking into account the territorial aspect. This point of view is taken into consideration in Russian scientific publications and economic policy. The article deals with a comparative analysis of the category "region innovation environment" and "spatial innovation environment". The criterion for distinguishing between concepts is the spatial boundaries of this environment. Innovative environment of the region can be considered as real. The spatial innovation environment should be described as potentially possible, taking into account the mismatch of its borders with the boundaries of a particular region. As usual the innovation environment of the region goes beyond its administrative boundaries. In this case, the definition "spatial innovation environment" is methodologically justified. The exogenous nature of radical innovations in relation to a particular region is shown. The author's position is based on foreign researches, in which there is no rigid dependence of the region's economic development level on the development of the innovation environment of the region. The research shows that the quantitative parameters of the innovation environment development in the region do not always give an objective picture of the innovative development of a particular region. Indicators of innovative development make it possible to measure only the production of innovations in the region, but do not offer a mechanism for their dissemination and use. The study of the macro region innovation environment of the south of Western Siberia showed that there are conditions for competition for intellectual resources. The process of innovation can give a positive effect, taking into consideration the cooperation of relevant agglomerations innovative environment, excluding duplicate innovative projects. It is necessary to transform regional innovation spaces into a common interregional innovation cluster. Because of it the creation of a coordinating interregional body is necessary.
