“…There is, for example, increasing evidence that fi rms combine local and global sources in their product renewal and innovation processes (Asheim and Isaksen, 2002;Simmie, 2003;Moodysson et al, 2008;Trippl, 2011). Extra-regional and global linkages take many forms, such as trade networks.…”

This study examines the impact of internal and external knowledge on fi rm productivity in the Swedish agricultural sector. It combines theories from regional economics about the geographical aspects of knowledge with traditional theories on the role of knowledge in productivity in agriculture. The study is a fi rm-level analysis using an unbalanced panel between the years 2002 and 2011 in Sweden. The results show that these fi rms are positively affected by employees with formal education related to the sector. Higher knowledge levels have a greater impact than lower levels. External knowledge, such as localised spillovers, is also important, but the results on this factor are more ambiguous.

“…Academic research has been increasingly recognized as necessary for the creation and dissemination of knowledge, whether in national innovation systems (Lundvall, 1992) or in local and regional innovation systems (Asheim and Isaksen, 2002). In most scientific papers produced by universities and faculties the researchers make up social networks through interpersonal relationships within their own institutions, as well as through other institutions, in order to improve their learning, to search for more research capabilities, to accelerate the diffusion of knowledge generated by them, and especially to legitimize and get recognition for their personal contributions (Barab, Thomas, and Merrill, 2001;Lee and Bozeman, 2005;Merton, 1973;Moody, 2004;Wagner and Leydesdorff, 2005).…”

Scientific production and technological innovation growth in Brazil are not homogeneous in its different regions despite its public policies. The same phenomenon can be observed within the states of the Brazilian Federation. This article examines the diffusion of scientific expertise in six public institutions of science and technology in the state of Bahia between 2004 and 2008. The state is the largest in the north-east of Brazil, an area marked by a semi-arid climate and a low human development index; however, it has a large chemical and petrochemical complex. This article, focusing on the scientific field of chemistry, is based on foundations of innovation and knowledge management, as well as social network analysis, aiming to examine relations between scientific production and institutional, structural and relational characteristics of inter-and intra-institutional scientific knowledge networks. The results show that public policies on science, technology and innovation regarding the peripheral regions need to be rethought.

“…[1] This unprecedented growth is an outcome of many factors, which have made biopharmaceutical sector a boon for Indian economy. [2] As per the database of Biotechnology Industry Research Assistance Council (BIRAC) Nearly 760 units are operating in the arena of biotechnology, of which 63% units are engaged in healthcare biotechnology. It has been observed that Indian firms have aggressively increase in the number of linkages, formal or informal, with pharmaceutical MNCs to capitalize on their manufacturing competencies and exploit marketing resources of MNCs for diving in the global economic activities [3] However, the determinants of 'attractiveness' [1] is not uniform across the country; certain 'knowledge hubs' or clusters have emerged due to the institutional arrangements, which may aid to innovation in biopharmaceuticals.…”

“…State and Central Governments, through policies, have stressed on the importance of clusters (e.g. Biotechnology Policy, 2001; Biotechnology policy 2013), [2] leading to the construction of many state-initiated clusters, in order to erect a robust regional system of innovation for bio pharmaceutics. [4] Notably, there has been a significant increase in the number of bio clusters in different regions.…”

The Indian Biopharmaceutical landscape interests scholars from innovation studies, economic geography and policy learning to understand various regional dimensions that fuel knowledge production in relation to emerging technologies. Globalization has a strong influence on such high technology clusters, wherein 'local' play a significant role. With this prelude, the study attempts to understand the nature and typology of Global Innovation Networks (GINs), by assessing the degree of globalness, innovativeness and networkedness of firms, located in India's first organized Biosciences R&D cluster, Genome Valley, Hyderabad (India). On reflecting over the typologies of GINs and their degrees of globalness, innovativeness and networked ness in Biopharmaceutical firms, the paper contends that firms have an export-oriented objective and are competing with their global competitors; innovation seems to be mostly incremental in nature; the sector is battling due to absence of linkages with funding agencies and basic research institutions. However, the entire cluster with pre-existing capabilities, vantage points and resources, coupled with GINs, is evolving as a potent site for innovation. Also, this paper opens up the scope for future research, by aligning socio-economic aspects of networks and linkages, in terms of the health outcomes or social relevance derived out of the networks and linkages across the globe.
