Abstract

Az innovációs együttműködés létrejöttében régóta sokat vizsgált szerepet játszik a földrajzi közelség. Az utóbbi évtizedben azonban az empirikus vizsgálatokban megjelentek a közelség más dimenziói is, mint például a társadalmi, kognitív, szervezeti vagy intézményi közelség. Valóban van a térbeliségnek abban szerepe, hogy létrejöjjön két szereplő között a kapcsolat? Vagy a kis földrajzi távolság (közelség) csupán egy lehetséges jellemző, ami mögött társadalmi kapcsolatok, tudásbeli azonosság vagy intézményi rokonság húzódik meg, és utóbbiak segítik elő a partnerség kialakulását? Vajon az együttműködés vizsgálatával kaphatunk magyarázatot a rendkívül gyenge és izolált hazai innovációs kapcsolatrendszerre? Journal of Economic Literature (JEL) kód: JEL: D85, L14, R11, O31.
