inventions are to a higher degree based on existing knowledge than non-radical inventions. Also the combination of emergent and … mature knowledge is more important for radical inventions. A further result that follows from our analysis is that radical … inventions are induced by the recombination over more knowledge domains as compared to non-radical inventions. Our research hints …

This study examines whether the transfer of knowledge flows from universities to enterprises in Canada is hampered by … the geographical distance that separates them. The transfer of knowledge flows are measured by the amount of R&D payments …&D paid to a university by 1.4 percent for enterprises that do not report any codified transfer of knowledge flow, and by half …
