Analogous to the Richter Scale for earthquakes, you introduce the Scale of Technological Magnitude (SMAT in Italian), an event scale to quantify the size and impact of technology transfer in geo-economic environment and adopters. It is based on number of technological contacts and computed...

This study analyzes the action of the ‘space’ variable on the technological transfer activity, matching the traditional space approach (physical distance) to the modern one (interactions). The aim of this piece of research is double: Build indicators, using the two above mentioned...

The purpose of this research is to analyse the spatial behaviour of technological transfer for understanding the inner dynamics. The data of some research labs, located in the Northwest Italy and operating in the technological fields, are used. The results have shown a superposition of behaviour...

Aim of this paper is to analyse the spatial aspects of technology transfer (t.t.) in Cnr Institutes of Piemonte, a highly industrialised region in North Western Italy. The specific purpose is to verify two hypotheses 1) If the spatial propagation of t.t. follows the Hägerstrand...
