Beyond Territory (eBook, PDF)

Dynamic Geographies of Knowledge Creation, Diffusion and Innovation
Redaktion: Bathelt, Harald; Kogler, Dieter F.; Feldman, Maryann

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

The main purpose of the book is to discuss new trends in the dynamic geography of innovation and argue that in an era of increasing globalization, two trends seem quite dominant: rigid territorial models of innovation, and localized configurations of innovative activities. The book brings together scholars who are working on these topics. Rather than focusing on established concepts and theories, the book aims to question narrow explanations, rigid territorializations, and simplistic policy frameworks; it provides evidence that innovation, while not exclusively dependent on regional contexts, can be influenced by place-specific attributes.
