The broad spectrum of topics surrounding what is termed the
'knowledge economy' has attracted increasing attention from the
scientific community in recent years. The nature of
knowledge-intensive industries, the spatiality of knowledge, the
role of proximity and distance in generating functional knowledge,
the transfer of knowledge via networks, and the complex interplay
between knowledge, location and economic development are all live
academic issues. This book, the fifth volume in Springer's
Knowledge and Space series, focuses on the last of these: the
multiple relationships between knowledge, the economy, and space.
It reflects the conceptual and methodological multidisciplinarity
emerging from this scholarship, yet where there has up to now been
a notable lack of communication between some of the contributing
disciplines, resulting in lexical and other confusions, this volume
brings concord and to foster interdisciplinarity. These
complications have been especially evident in our understanding of
the spatiality of knowledge, the part that spatial contexts play in
knowledge creation and diffusion, and the relevance of face-to-face
contacts, all of which are addressed in these pages. The material
here is grouped into four sections-knowledge creation and economy,
knowledge and economic development, knowledge and networks, and
knowledge and clusters. It assembles new concepts and original
empirical research from geography, economics, sociology,
international business relations, and management. The book
addresses a varied audience interested in the historical and
spatial foundations of the knowledge economy and is intended to
bridge some of the gaps between the differing approaches to
research on knowledge, the economy, and space.
