Network Structures in Regional Innovation Systems

Jérôme Jürgen Stuck, Tom Broekel, Javier Revilla Diez · 2015 · European Planning Studies

Summary. This paper bridges regional innovation systems theory with social network analysis to clarify how knowledge networks actually function in regions. The authors connect network-theoretical concepts to established RIS typologies, demonstrating that applying precise network analysis methods reveals interaction patterns obscured by the RIS literature's metaphorical use of 'network'. The work shows how both fields strengthen each other through cross-disciplinary insights.
