  • "The relationship between innovation, networks and localities is of central concern for many nations. However, despite increasing interest in the components of this research triangle, efforts in these fields are hampered by a lackofconceptual and empirical insights. This volume brings together contributions from a distinguished group of scholars working in different but related disciplines, and aims to provide a fresh look at this research triangle. The objective is to offer a concise overview of current developments and insights derived from recent studies in Europe and North America. All of the contributions are based on original research undertaken in the various regions and nations and are published here for the first time. We are grateful to all those who have contributed to this volume for their willingness to participate in the project. Without their co-operation this book would not have been possible. We should like, in addition, to thank Angela Spence for her careful linguistic editing and assistance in co-ordinating the production of the camera ready copy. Lastly, but not least, we wish to express our gratitude for support from our home institutions, and in particular the Austrian Academy of Sciences (Institute for Urban and Regional Research), the Austrian Ministry for Science and Transport, the Styrian Government (Section for Science and Research) and the Federation of Austrian Industry in Styria for the financial backing received.

  • "The contributions in this volume explore the relationship between processes of technological innovation, their network characteristics and their local and regional development impacts. Case studies, empirical evidence and conceptual perspectives provide insights on the local effects of technological innovation, networks and related policies in Austria, Scotland, Italy, the Netherlands, Western Europe and the United States. The contributions consider spatial, developmental and network aspects of technological innovation diffusion, globalisation, static and dynamic externalities, local and regional clustering, interfirm cooperation, small firm development, knowledge spillovers, invention patenting, information technology and telecommunications, competitiveness, technological convergence, and industrial policy-making. This volume will be of interest to professionals, academics and policy-makers interested in technological change and its impacts on local areas and regions."
