title = "Organizational Heritage and Entrepreneurship: Steven Klepper{\textquoteright}s Theories Reflected in the Emergence and Growth of the Plastic Molds Industry in Portugal",
abstract = "This paper reviews the history of the emergence of the molds and plastics industries in Portugal, finding that this history fits nicely with the accounts—originally proposed in Steven Klepper{\textquoteright}s various works—of new industries emerging from older, related industries, and regional clusters emerging from the mobility of specialized workers from successful incumbents to new firms created in the same regional environment. In addition, it addresses the role played by entrepreneurship, spinoffs, and the transmission of organizational competences from successful incumbents to new firms through the mobility of specialized workers played in the evolution of the two referred industries.",
