Mossig, IvoIvoMossig2021-11-032021-11-0320040965-4313https://media.suub.uni-bremen.de/handle/elib/498310.26092/elib/780Based on the example of the production network of TV programmes in Cologne´s media cluster, this paper will examine two aspects in order to obtain a deeper understanding of how localized production networks arise and how they function. First of all, the role of the founding of new firms within a localized production network will be analysed in detail. As a second step, the decision structures within the production network will be discussed. In this context the question arises as to how the parts of a particular production chain are linked together and how a smooth production flow can be guaranteed. The theoretical findings will be verified by an empirical study of the networks producing TV programmes in Cologne.enAttribution 3.0 Germanyhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/de/TV programmesMedia clusterProduction networkCologne910The networks producing television programmes in the Cologne media cluster: new firm foundation, flexible specialization and efficient decision‐making structuresArtikel/Aufsatzurn:nbn:de:gbv:46-elib49839
