The geography of innovation is changing. Firstly, it is
increasingly understood that innovative firms and organizations
exhibit a wide variety of strategies, each differently attuned to
diverse geographic contexts. Secondly, and concomitantly, the idea
that cities, clusters and physical proximity are essential for
innovation is evolving under the weight of new theorizing and
empirical evidence. The aim of this handbook is to break with the
many ideas and concepts that emerged during the course of the 1980s
and 1990s, and to fully take into account the new reality of the
internet, mobile communication technologies, personal mobility and
globalization. The handbook gathers a new generation of ideas and
authors to contribute to the debate, providing an empirically
grounded critical appraisal of the prevailing knowledge on the
geography of innovation. The 28 original chapters, written by a
diverse range of scholars with widely differing views, present
fresh empirical evidence and new perspectives relating to how
innovation plays out across space in an age where mobility has
increased, information is ubiquitous and globalisation has been
realised. Overall, the dialogue between existing theory and new
possibilities provides a unique and challenging appraisal of the
connection between innovation, agglomeration and space. Offering
cutting edge ideas in an accessible format, this will be an ideal
resource for students and scholars of economic geography and
innovation studies. The empirical evidence and analysis will also
be of great value for policymakers and government officials.
