SOCIAL NETWORKS AND KNOWLEDGE SPILLOVERS - FRAN...

There has been much discussion about the importance of networks for regional economic
development and knowledge dissemination. However  the inflationary use of the notion networks
is often based on rather metaphorical  at worst fuzzy meanings. This book explores ways for
more rigorous research on knowledge networks  critically discussing quantitative social network
analysis. A theoretical framework for meaningful interpretations in quantitative network
research is developed. Afterwards  the monograph links social network analysis to research on
localised knowledge spillovers. Here the role of communities and networks of knowledge workers
is investigated. The book illustrates how social network analysis can provide fruitful
perspectives for further research on knowledge flows.
