Spatial Transfer of Knowledge in High Technology Milieux: Learning Versus Collective Learning Processes
Abstract
CAPELLO R. (1999) Spatial transfer of knowledge in high technology milieux: learning versus collective learning processes, Reg. Studies 33 , 353‐365 . An analysis of the definitions provided so far in the literature shows ambiguities in the conceptualization of collective learning. A parallel analysis of the concepts of learning and collective learning is provided, and similarities and differences underlined. One of the main distinguishing features of collective learning is embedded in the element of ‘club externality', while ‘continuity' and ‘dynamic synergies' are common properties of learning and collective learning. These reflections lead to some interesting empirical questions which are investigated in the empirical part of the paper. In particular, the empirical analysis addresses the questions: (1) is it true that collective learning is not the result of co-operative behaviour, but of a collective behaviour; and (2) is it true that collective learning is the way of achieving new creative resources for SMEs in local areas, and not other kinds of learning? The empirical analysis is based on three Italian high technology milieux. Descriptive and interpretative statistical methodologies are used in this part of the paper. CAPELLO R. (1999) Le transfert spatial de la connaissance dans des technopôles: l'apprentissage contre les processus d'apprentissage collectif, Reg. Studies 33 , 353-365 . Puisant dans la documentation, il en résulte d'une analyse des définitions disponibles quelques ambiguités àpropos de la conceptualisation de l'apprentissage collectif. On fournit une analyse parallèle des concepts d'apprentissage et d'apprentisage collectif et souligne les similarités et les différences. L'une des principales caractéristiques de l'apprentissage collectif est ancrée dans la notion de 'retombée commune', tandis que les notions de 'continuité' et de 'synergies dynamiques' sont des traits particuliers de l'apprentissage et de l'apprentissage collectif. Ces remarques laissent supposer des questions empiriques intéressantes qui se voient aborder dans la partie empirique de l'article. En particulier, l'analyse empirique remet en cause la vérité des affirmations suivantes: a). l'apprentissage collectif ne résulte pas d'un comportement coopératif mais d'un comportement collectif; b). par rapport aux autres genres d'apprentissage, c'est par l'apprentissage collectif que l'on peut engendrer de nouvelles ressources dynamiques en faveur des PME situées dans les collectivités locales. L'analyse empirique est fondée sur trois technopoles en Italie. Cette partie de l'article se sert des méthodologies de description et d'interprétation statistiques. CAPELLO R. (1999)Ra ¨umliche Wissensvermittlung in hoch technisierten Milieus: Lernen gegen kollektive Lernprozesse, Reg. Studies 33 , 353‐365 . Eine Analyse der Definitionen, die bisher von der Literatur angeboten wurden, weist Ambiguita ¨ten in der begrifflichen Fassung kollektiven Lernens auf. Es wird eine Parallelanalyse der Konzepte des Lernens und kollectiven Lernens vorgestellt, und A ¨hnlichkeiten sowie Unterschiede hervorgehoben. Einer der Hauptunterschiede kollektiven Lernens ist in dem Element des a ¨ußeren Zuges der geschlossenen Gesellschaft verankert, wa ¨hrend ‘Kontinuita ¨t' und ‘dynamische Zusammenfassung der Kra ¨fte zum gleichen Zweck' gemeinsame Eigenschaften des Lernens und des kollektiven Lernens sind. Diese U¨berlegungen fu¨hren zu interessanten empirischen Fragen, die im empirischen Teil des Aufsatzes behandelt werden. Die empirische Analyse bescha ¨ftigt sich vorallem mit den folgenden Fragen: a)trifft es zu, daß kollektives Lernen nicht das Ergebnis ko-operativen Verhaltens ist, sondern das eines kollektiven Verhaltens? b) trifft es zu, daß kollektives Lernen der Weg fu¨r kleine und mittlere Unternehmen ist, am Orte neue scho ¨pferische Reserven anzuzapfen, die andere Arten des Lernens nicht ero¨ffnen? Die empirische Analyse stu¨tzt sich auf drei italienische, hoch technisierte Milieus. In diesem Teil des Aufsatzes werden deskriptive und interpretative statistische Methodiken benutzt.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
