目的-本文旨在调查创新网络的多面性，集中在两个研究问题：集群行为者只交换一种类型的创新相关知识？集群行为体在与创新相关的知识交流中是否发挥着不同的作用？设计/方法/方式-本文建立在意大利航空航天集群，这是一个技术密集型产业，创新是在当地竞争力的基础上，在公司层面收集的数据。问卷调查被用来收集属性数据和关系数据的合作和创新网络中的知识流动。作者区分了三种类型的知识（技术，管理和市场知识）和五种类型的经纪人角色（协调员，看门人，联络，代表和顾问）。数据分析依赖于社会网络分析技术和软件。结果-关于第一个研究问题，研究结果表明，不同类型的...
Purpose – This paper aims at investigating the multifaceted nature of innovation networks by focusing on two research questions: Do cluster actors exchange only one type of innovation-related knowledge? Do cluster actors play different roles in innovation-related knowledge exchange? Design/methodology/approach – This paper builds on data collected at the firm level in an Italian aerospace cluster, that is a technology-intensive industry where innovation is at the base of local competitiveness. A questionnaire was used to collect both attribute data and relational data concerning collaboration and the flows of knowledge in innovation networks. The authors distinguished among three types of knowledge (technological, managerial and market knowledge) and five types of brokerage roles (coordinator, gatekeeper, liaison, representative and consultant). Data analysis relied on social network analysis techniques and software. Findings – Concerning the first research question, the findings show that different types...
