International Regional Patterns of R&D Networks Involving Low Tech SMEs

A large number of studies have emphasized the spatial proximity of economic activity and its relation to the spatiality of knowledge creation in various types of connections. Far less attention has been paid to the understanding of the determinants of 'cultural' and geographical proximity...
