This volume extends our understanding of the many different ways in
which distance impacts the knowledge conversion process. While
addressing different facets of knowledge, innovation and space, the
authors provide an overview of relevant topics in contemporary
research concerned with the global, national, regional and local
dynamics of knowledge and innovation.Knowledge itself is a raw
input into the innovation process, which can then transform it into
an economically useful output such as a prototype, patent, licence
or new firm. New knowledge is often tacit and thus tends to be
highly localized, as indeed is the conversion process.
Consequently, as the book demonstrates, space or distance matter
significantly in the transformation of raw knowledge into
beneficial knowledge. This innovative book will appeal to
academics, students and researchers in the fields of regional
science, economics, sociology and innovation. It will also be of
interest to policymakers and consultants in international
organizations, in particular those dealing with entrepreneurship,
development, R&D policies and regional policies on different
spatial scales. Contributors include: M. Andersson, T. Arvemo, M.
