CALL FOR PAPERS TO THE TRACK: SIG 06: Innovation - T 06_09
NETWORK CONFIGURATIONS, LOCATION, INNOVATION AND TIME
Call for papers (http://euram-online.org/programme2016/call-for-topics.html)
The deadline for submissions will be January 12, 2016. (The submission system will be open from December 1 to January 12),
Description
The development of networks inside geographically bounded spaces, which foster the mutual exchange and collective creation of knowledge, has become particularly important for a firm's innovative capacity. Inside these locations, such as clusters, industrial districts or science and technology parks, firms establish formal and informal relationships with other co-located firms and institutions. However, the understanding of network evolution still constitutes an emerging topic. Most work has been developed in a static way and focused on endogenous factors for explaining the evolution of the network. In this sense, there are many opportunities to incorporate existing research to better understand the evolution of networks across time. In order to advance a dynamic networks perspective we are open to all methods of research by inviting papers that comprehensively explore emerging and new areas of research in the field of networks, innovation and location, and to gain new insights from a dynamic perspective, conceptual as well as qualitative and quantitative empirical contributions are welcome.
