We aim to offer an exploratory investigation of these issues and a preliminary assessment of the importance of gatekeepers for the renewal and expansion of the local knowledge base. We distinguish conceptually between direct external ties and external linkages mediated by gatekeepers and test their relative effectiveness as knowledge transfer channels. For this purpose, we propose a methodological approach to identifying and measuring the different types of external relations. In so doing, we also supply a methodological contribution to the modeling of the structure of external relations and the channels through which external knowledge flows into a city.

Abstract
We aim to offer an exploratory investigation of these issues and a preliminary assessment of the importance of gatekeepers for the renewal and expansion of the local knowledge base. We distinguish conceptually between direct external ties and external linkages mediated by gatekeepers and test their relative effectiveness as knowledge transfer channels. For this purpose, we propose a methodological approach to identifying and measuring the different types of external relations. In so doing, we also supply a methodological contribution to the modeling of the structure of external relations and the channels through which external knowledge flows into a city.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
