“…For the acquisition of this type of knowledge, cooperation, trust, communication and face-to-face contacts play a crucial role (Howells, 2002). Thus, it has often been stated that KIBS are primarily located in close spatial proximity to their customers (Illeris, 1994;Vaessen and Wever, 1993). Indeed, at least in Germany, most fi rms and fi rm foundations in the KIBS sector occur in the major urban agglomeration areas (Brixy and Grotz, 2006), where also important potential clients are located.…”

“…Extroverted firms are also more likely to aim at competition in international markets (MacPherson 1995). Externally oriented firms are able to overcome the constraints related to a peripheral location (Alderman 1999;Vaessen and Wever 1993). Vaessen and Keeble (1995) found that growth-oriented firms do more R&D and have more external programs for worker training regardless of their regional environment.…”

Complementing existing approaches on national innovation systems (NISs) and regional innovation systems (RISs), the proposed spatial innovation systems (SISs) approach incorporates a focus on the path-dependent evolution of specific technologies as components of technological systems and the intermingling of their technological paths among various locations through time. SISs utilize spatial divisions of labor among several specialized RISs, possibly in more than one NIS. The SIS concept emphasizes the external relations of actors as key elements that transcend all existing systems of innovation. The integrating role of these relations remains inadequately understood to date. This poses a challenge for future research.
