The Geography and Structure of Global Innovation Networks: A Knowledge Base Perspective

Ju Liu, Cristina Chamináde, Björn Asheim · 2013 · European Planning Studies

Summary. This paper examines how global innovation networks are structured and organized geographically across two multinational companies in different industries. Using social network analysis, the authors identify two distinct organizational models: globally-organized and locally-organized networks. The study shows that a company's knowledge base fundamentally shapes both where its innovation network spreads and how it is internally organized.
