 abstract={The aim of this study is to examine the collaboration among members of a business cluster in the field of technology management, specifically focusing on the Metal Processing Cluster operating in Poland. Utilizing survey data, a structural model is developed through the Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling technique. The resulting statistically valid model elucidates several significant relationships that are crucial for fostering collaboration within a business cluster, while simultaneously affirming the advantages associated with membership in such an organizational structure. Participation in a cluster has the potential to expedite information acquisition, cultivate valuable new knowledge within firms, and yield both operational and strategic benefits. Although knowledge that facilitates and supports innovation is deemed essential for maximizing the advantages of cluster participation, a significant number of surveyed cluster companies have yet to implement such knowledge, suggesting the existence of untapped opportunities for further benefits among members.},
