Opis

The overarching aim of Finance, Innovation and Geography: Harnessing Knowledge Dynamics in German Biotechnology is to explore linkages between geographies of finance and relational geographies of innovation. This is achieved by questioning how investment activities affect the unfolding of innovations and in turn are affected by it.

Recenzje

"Connecting finance to our understanding of the geography of innovation is critical but has so far been largely ignored in economic geography. The relational perspective of this book discusses the role of finance in a language that connects to the heart of the economic geography discipline. A must-read for all economic geographers who study innovation." — Dr. R.P.J.H. (Roel) Rutten, Assistant Professor, Department of Organization Studies, Tilburg University
