Abstract

Confronted with new global competitive environment, rising R&D costs, growing integration of different technologies, shorter life cycles, and increased pace of innovation, high-tech companies increasingly collaborate with external partners. Innovation networks became unconditional driver of technological dynamics and growth of high-tech industries. The article aims to explore the role of proximity in innovation networks formation in the two high-tech industries – biotechnology and aviation. Both industries are characterized by different stages of technological maturity, different product life-cycles and development periods, yet both equally depend on highly specialized human capital and collaborative innovation. The article addresses the following research questions: What is the role of proximity – geographical, cognitive, institutional, organizational, social and cultural – in facilitating innovation networks formation in the above mentioned high-tech industries? What type of proximities and the related network externalities assist these industries along their life-cycles? What is the relationship between technology dynamics and innovation networks formation?

接近性在高科技产业技术动态中的作用:以生物技术和航空工业为例

面对新的全球竞争环境、不断上升的研发成本、越来越多的不同技术的整合、越来越短的生命周期和越来越快的创新步伐，高科技公司越来越多地与外部合作伙伴合作。创新网络成为技术动态和高新技术产业发展的无条件动力。本文旨在探讨邻近性在生物技术和航空两大高科技产业创新网络形成中的作用。这两个行业具有不同的技术成熟阶段、不同的产品生命周期和发展周期，但都同样依赖高度专业化的人力资本和协同创新。本文探讨了以下研究问题:地理、认知、制度、组织、社会和文化的邻近性在促进高新技术产业创新网络形成中的作用是什么?什么类型的接近性和相关的网络外部性在这些行业的生命周期中帮助它们?技术动态与创新网络形成的关系是什么?
