Clusters can emerge from random and accidental events, but to develop into successful clusters a combination of luck, favorable framework conditions, and the agency of central organizational actors is necessary. To understand cluster development and improve the likelihood that new clusters will emerge and grow it is therefore necessary to understand the roles of organizational ac-tors in the process. This paper analyzes how the roles and importance of central organizational actors change throughout the emergence and growth of an innovative cluster. Based on an in-depth case study of an internationally successful robotics cluster, we develop a theoretical framework for understanding how organizational actors’ importance and impact influence cluster development throughout the cluster life cycle phases of emergence and growth.
