Giri Raj Aryal, John Mann, Scott Loveridge, Satish Joshi · 2018 · Journal of Entrepreneurship and Public Policy

Summary. Rural and urban firms create innovation differently. Using national survey data on patent applications, the study finds that urban firms better leverage their resources for innovation. Rural firms benefit from university research and development support, though they don't value university information as highly. Rural firms willing to attempt innovation, even when failing, outperform those avoiding risk. The research reveals distinct innovation characteristics between rural and urban business environments.
