This paper adopts a contingency perspective to investigate the relationship among cluster density, external search, and innovation performance of high-technology ventures. Specifically, this study argues that local density and external search have both separate and joint effects on a firm´s innovation performance. To test our hypotheses, we draw a three-year sample from the Zhongguancun Science Park. The empirical findings provide strong support for the above arguments.
