dc.description.abstract | An empirical study of scientific communication among biotechnology companies supports the belief that geographic clustering does produce increased scientific exchange among companies. A comparison of companies within a constrained geographic area with those more dispersed shows a significantly higher level of scientific communication among the former. Scientific communication declines rapidly with plupical separation.
Critical of the formation of cluster – based scientific communication networks is the presence of both universities and large firms from the same industry. | en_US |
