Modelling Regional Patterns of Innovation Diffusion in the UK Metalworking Industries

Abstract: ALDERMAN N. and DAVIES S. (1990) Modelling regional patterns of innovation diffusion in the UK metalworking industries, Reg. Studies 24, 513-528. In this paper Davies' economic model of innovation diffusion is tested at the regional level using survey data on the adoption of a number of key manufacturing technologies based on microelectronics or new matcrials within nine industries engaged primarily in metalworking activities. The results demonstrate that there are regional variations in the rates of diffusion… Show more

“…Likewise, Jaffe, Trajtenberg, and Henderson (1993) find that citations to domestic patents within the United States are more likely to come from the states and metropolitan areas where the cited patents are located. Others have identified a regional pattern to the diffusion of product innovations and a tendency for regional externalities to shape the adoption of innovations, whereby firms use other firms in a region to learn about and to utilize new technology (see Antoneb 1990; Thwaites 1982; Alderman and Davies 1990).…”

“…These observations accord with the suggestion that regional variations are likely to be most pronounced when technologies are in their infancy, but that as diffusion proceeds and approaches saturation level regional convergence is likely to be observed (Alderman and Davies, 1990). …”

“…Another stream of studies emphasises the development and accumulation over time in firms' technological and organisational competencies Rosenberg 1982). There is also a growing body of literature on the role of the geographical factors on the phenomenon of diffusion (e.g., Hagerstrand 1967;Alderman and Davies 1990;Baptista 2000 etc. Relationship with customers, equipment vendors and labour market knowledge, network with other firms are all part of the environment influencing the decision of the firms to acquire the new technology.…”
