Description: This project focuses on the interplay between knowledge bases, regional variety and global innovation networks in a global perspective to understand how and explain why firms use global innovation networks (GINs) to innovate and to analyse the impact of the use of GINs for firms and regional dynamics. This project will contribute significantly to the understanding of the dynamics and processes behind the globalization of innovation.
