“…Based on the rise of endogenous models of economic growth, the sources of regional economic growth are increasingly considered to be based on the role that the production, distribution and use of knowledge play within and across regional economies (Grossman and Helpman 1994;Harris 2001;Ibert 2007;Zucker et al 2007;Vaz and Nijkamp 2009;Antonelli et al 2011). The knowledge-based economy is generally considered to consist of the sphere and nexus of activities and resources centred on, and geared toward, innovation (Romer 2007).…”

Despite the growing acknowledgement that entrepreneurship is an important driver of regional innovation and growth, the role of the networks in these processes has been less formally examined. In order to address this gap, this paper proposes that the relationship between entrepreneurship, innovation and regional growth is governed by a series of network dynamics. Drawing upon aspects of endogenous growth theory and the knowledge spillover theory of entrepreneurship, it is proposed that the nature of the networks formed by entrepreneurial firms is a key determinant of regional growth differentials. In particular, network capital, in the form of investments in strategic relations to gain access to knowledge, is considered to mediate the relationship between entrepreneurship and innovation-based regional growth. It is suggested that network dynamics should be further incorporated into theories concerning the link between knowledge spillovers, entrepreneurship and regional growth. The paper concludes with a series of theoretical, entrepreneurial and policy implications emerging from the study.

The need to better understand the mechanisms underlying regional growth patterns is widely recognised. This paper argues that regional growth is partly a function of the value created through inter-organisational flows of knowledge within and across regions. It is proposed that investment in calculative networks by organisations to access knowledge is a form of capital, termed network capital, which should be incorporated into regional growth models. The paper seeks to develop a framework to capture the value of network capital within these models based on the spatial configuration and the nature of the knowledge flowing through networks.

Abstract-The research standard of domestic agricultural biotechnology is high and broad, while the industrialization speed is far behind the research standard. In order to accelerate the development of agricultural biotechnology industry, "agricultural biotechnology parks" which present R&D processing & marketing and operation functions are planned to rapidly form agricultural technology industrial clusters and accelerate the development of agricultural technology. Experts in agricultural biotechnology parks are analyzed in this study. Total 150 copies of questionnaire are distributed and 102 valid copies are retrieved, with the retrieval rate 68％. The research results sequence the importance of "Level 2" evaluation standards as "technology and knowledge resource", "public infrastructure", "government", "human resource", "financial resource", and "supportive industry". Among 21 evaluation indices, top 5 emphasized indices contain technological innovation, R&D facilities, training institutions, network information service, and R&D incentive. Based on the research result, suggestions are proposed in this study, expecting to rapidly form agricultural technology industrial clusters, accelerate the development of agricultural technology, and expand high value-added product export to catch up with advanced countries with agriculture.Key words-government, human resource, public infrastructure, supportive industry, technology I. INTRODUCTONHigh value-added and knowledge-oriented industries are currently promoted and developed in Taiwan. In order to develop agricultural technology, the government links the agricultural technology "industrial cluster", which presents mutual correlations of commonality and complementarity, to enhance the transformation of agriculture industry. Domestic agricultural biotechnology presents high and broad research standard, but the industrialization speed is far behind the research standard. In order to accelerate the development of agricultural biotechnology industry, "agricultural biotechnology parks" with R&D processing & marketing and operation functions are planned to rapidly form agricultural technology industrial clusters, accelerate the development of agricultural technology, and expand the high value-added product export, expecting to catch up advanced countries with agricultural biotechnology industry.As biotechnology industry is gradually emphasized by governments in various countries, biotechnology prefectures are rapidly established to result in fierce competition in the future environment. When biotechnology prefectures are massively constructed for biotechnology industry, it is extremely important for the government, the main force to support the industry, applying limited resources. Nonetheless, it is concerned how to avoid overinvestment or scattered resources, i.e. how government departments apply limited resources to key factors for establishing agricultural biotechnology parks different from other technology parks to further create the competitive advantage. For this reaso...
