3. 12. Kunskap och innovation i ett moget kluster : En ekonomisk-geografisk studie av aluminiumindustrin i Småland-Blekinge

   Författare :Magnus Lagerholm; Anders Malmberg; Anders Waxell; Karl-Johan Lundquist; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :Social and economic geography; economic geography; mature industry; cluster; agglomeration; systems of innovation; labour market mobility; Sweden; Kulturgeografi; kulturgeografi; Social and Economic Geography;

   Sammanfattning : The thesis aims at understanding mechanisms behind knowledge generation and learning in a mature cluster by analysing firms in south-east Sweden engaged in the development and manufacturing of aluminium products. The point of departure is in concepts and assumptions related to spatially concen-trated systems of similar and related firms and industries, such as agglomera-tions, clusters or innovation systems.

   Sammanfattning : Uganda’s economy is agro-based; although the country is land locked it has great potential for industrial development. It is well endowed with natural resources and salubrious climate, but with little success in transforming its agricultural and mineral wealth into processed commodities for local, regional and international markets.

5. 14. Social Capital and Regional Innovation Systems : Bridging approaches and broadening understanding of knowledge sharing and innovation

   Författare :Ingrid Helene Garmann Johnsen; Institutionen för kulturgeografi och ekonomisk geografi; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Social capital; Regional innovation system; Knowledge base; Economic geography;

   Sammanfattning : This doctoral thesis takes as a starting point that geographical location remains fundamental to gain competitive advantage for some types of firms and activities even though economic activity in general has become more global. The region is seen as the key level in which the innovative capability of firms is shaped, coordinated and governed. LÄS MER

7. 15. Knowledge Bases and the Geography of Innovation

   Författare :Roman Martin; CIRCLE; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; economic geography; regional innovation systems; learning regions; differentiated knowledge bases; knowledge networks; social network analysis; Scania; Sweden;

   Sammanfattning : Despite the ongoing globalisation of economic activities, innovation does not take place randomly distributed over space, but concentrates in certain locations. A central argument to explain the spatial concentration of innovation activities lies in the ability of geographical proximity to facilitate interactive learning and knowledge exchange, which in turn is seen as an important driver for regional growth and prosperity.
