The knowledge society is characterized by knowledge becoming a kind of commodity that can be traded and priced. Knowledge-intensive business services (KIBS) are representative for such a knowledge-based economy, since their main input and output factor is directly related to knowledge itself....

Technologische Spezialisierungen und damit verbundene komparative Stärken nationaler Innovationssysteme ändern sich trotz zunehmender globaler Integration wirtschaftlicher Tätigkeiten nur langsam. Deutschland und Japan, die ähnlich industriebasierte Innovationsprofile aufweisen, haben...

Despite the increasing global integration of economic activities, technological specialisations of national innovation systems and comparative strengths associated thereby only change slowly. Germany and Japan, whose innovation systems similarly feature an industry-based profile, own relatively...

By applying the evolutionary economic geography approach and focusing on the organizational dimension of the knowledge-based theory of the firm the paper intends to make both a conceptual and an empirical contribution to understand the ways in which knowledge dynamics unfold in time and space...

The paper focuses on the territorial shaping of knowledge dynamics as one of the driving forces for innovation. Knowledge dynamics are unfolding from processes of creation, use, transformation and diffusion of knowledge. Due to both the ongoing restructuring of global value chains and the...

In recent years, innovation processes involve more heterogenous actors inside and outside the firm. Little is known however about the spatial impact of this organisational decomposition of innovation processes (ODIP): Does it lead to a geographical dispersion of innovation activities as well?...
