“…These different proximity dimensions are expected to exert complementary and reinforcing effects on knowledge transmission (Mattes, 2011). This approach is also in line with recent applied spatial econometric contributions which have emphasized the "economic" content of the distance concept.…”

“…Although in the previous empirical literature the attention has been mostly focused on just one kind of proximity, in particular the geographical one and to a lesser extent the technological one, with the high level of economic and institutional integration within the European production context the concurrent effect of different proximity dimensions can no longer be overlooked (Boschma 2005, Mattes 2011). As a matter of fact such an effect constitutes a crucial factor in facilitating the transmission of the existing knowledge and, in turn, in determining the creation of the new one.…”

“…The creation of knowledge that is superior to other forms is now usually considered to emerge from collective processes characterized not only by partial appropriability and shared property rights, but also by the role of the intentional effort, participation and contribution of interactive agents to access and assimilate (Antonelli 2008). Indeed, knowledge, especially 'combinatorial' knowledge, underlies the complexity of economic systems (Jensen et al 2007;Martin and Sunley 2007;Mattes 2012).…”

Entrepreneurship, innovation and regional growth: a network theory

2015

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Despite the growing acknowledgement that entrepreneurship is an important driver of regional innovation and growth, the role of the networks in these processes has been less formally examined. In order to address this gap, this paper proposes that the relationship between entrepreneurship, innovation and regional growth is governed by a series of network dynamics. Drawing upon aspects of endogenous growth theory and the knowledge spillover theory of entrepreneurship, it is proposed that the nature of the networks formed by entrepreneurial firms is a key determinant of regional growth differentials. In particular, network capital, in the form of investments in strategic relations to gain access to knowledge, is considered to mediate the relationship between entrepreneurship and innovation-based regional growth. It is suggested that network dynamics should be further incorporated into theories concerning the link between knowledge spillovers, entrepreneurship and regional growth. The paper concludes with a series of theoretical, entrepreneurial and policy implications emerging from the study.

The need to better understand the mechanisms underlying regional growth patterns is widely recognised. This paper argues that regional growth is partly a function of the value created through inter-organisational flows of knowledge within and across regions. It is proposed that investment in calculative networks by organisations to access knowledge is a form of capital, termed network capital, which should be incorporated into regional growth models. The paper seeks to develop a framework to capture the value of network capital within these models based on the spatial configuration and the nature of the knowledge flowing through networks.
