Abstract: Abstract: The network is an important source of the firm’s competitive advantage. The external and internal networks of the clustered firm are the channel of knowledge acquisition and sharing. The studies of network theory demonstrated that heterogeneous and non-redundant external networks can facilitate the acquisition of the external heterogeneous knowledge, and the dense internal networks with closure can aid the knowledge sharing. Based on the theory of network and the state of the network ties, the clustered firm should construct the heterogeneous and non-redundant external networks with structural holes and the dense internal networks with closure so that they can acquire the external heterogeneous knowledge and sharing them in the firm. Thus, the firm can maximize the advantage of the networks and gain the fast development and growth.
