Network Indicators

这个项目将根据三个大型公司间合作协议数据库和一套个案研究编制工业研发合作的网络指标。网络的类型将包括研发合作、合资企业、战略联盟等。案例研究的发展将产生支持网络创建和变化的因素的指标。对数据库的实证分析将得出与网络结构的特征和性质有关的指标。这些网络将使用网络图理论以图形方式呈现。

This project will develop network indicators of industrial R&D collaboration from three large databases of inter-firm cooperative agreements and from a set of case studies. The type of networks will include R&D cooperation, joint ventures, strategic alliances, etc. The development of the case studies will produce indicators of the factors underpinning network creation and change. Empirical analysis of the databases will yield indicators related to the characteristics and properties of network structure. These networks will be presented graphically using network graphing theory.
