摘要
This study focuses on spatial dimensions of innovation and tests whether there is an overlap between geographical clusters and the location of knowledge creation in Turkey. We used patent documents as indicators of inventors' collaboration in innovation and examine diverse characteristics of inventors by social network analysis. Using the address and company affiliation of the inventors, this study suggests that the role of geographical and organizational proximities in knowledge creation and diffusion can be tested by using social network analysis. This study concludes that innovation processes in Turkey are highly concentrated geographically and rather than organizational proximity between the actors, being close to industrial clusters is more important for innovative knowledge production and flows. Resumen Este estudio se centra en las dimensiones espaciales de la innovacion y prueba si hay una superposicion entre conglomerados geograficos y la localizacion de la creacion de conocimiento en Turquia. Se utilizaron documentos de patentes como indicadores de la colaboracion de los inventores en la innovacion y se examinaron las diversas caracteristicas de los inventores mediante un analisis de redes sociales. Haciendo uso de la direccion y la empresa a la que estaban afiliados los inventores, este estudio sugiere que se puede probar el papel de las proximidades geograficas y de organizacion en la creacion y difusion del conocimiento mediante el uso de analisis de redes sociales. Este estudio concluye que los procesos de innovacion en Turquia estan altamente concentrados geograficamente y que, en vez de la proximidad de organizacion entre los actores, el estar cerca de los conglomerados industriales es mas importante para la produccion y flujos de conocimiento innovador.
