Collective Learning Processes, Networking and ‘Institutional Thickness' in the Cambridge Region
Open accessAbstract
KEEBLE D., LAWSON C., MOORE B. and WILKINSON F. (1999) Collective learning processes, networking and ‘institutional thickness' in the Cambridge region, Reg. Studies 33 , 319-332 . The paper investigates the nature and extent of regional collective learning processes and networking by innovative, technology based, small and medium sized enterprises(SMEs)in the Cambridge region. It highlights the importance of socio-cultural preconditions for learning involving the University of Cambridge, and documents the significance of firm spin-offs, inter-firm and organization networking, and local scientific and managerial recruitment, as dynamic collective learning processes. It also, however, identifies the complementary importance of wider national and global networks for SME innovation inputs, research collaboration and professional staff recruitment. Finally, it assesses the relevance of the concept of ‘institutional thickness' in evaluating firms' experience of regional support structures and services.

Studies 33 , 319-332 . Cet article cherchè a examiner le caractère et la portée des processus régionaux d'apprentissage collectif et la constitution de réseaux par les PME (petites et moyennes entreprises)de pointe situées dans la région de Cambridge. L'article souligne l'importance des préalables socio-culturelles à l'apprentissage concernant l'Université de Cambridge, et décrit l'importance des retombe ´es des entreprises, la constitution de re ´seaux d'entreprises et d'organisations, et l'embauche local de techniciens et de cadres, comme processus d'apprentissage collectif dynamiques. Qui plus est, on identifie l'importance complémentaire des réseaux nationaux et internationaux plus vastes en faveur de l'innovation, de la recherche en collaboration et de l'embauche des professionnels pour les PME. Pour conclure, on évalue le rapport entre la notion d'appui institutionnel et l'expérience des entreprises quant aux réseaux de soutien et d'assistance technique régionaux.

Dieser Aufsatz untersucht Natur und Ausmaß regionaler kollektiver Lernprozesse und Vernetzung durch innovative, auf Technologie beruhende kleine und mittlere Unternehmen (small and medium-sized enterprises=SMEs) im Umkreis von Cambridge. Er wirft ein Schlaglicht auf die Bedeutung sozialkultureller Vorbedingungen fu ¨r die Aneignung von Kenntnissen, an der die Universita ¨t Cambridge beteiligt ist, und belegt jene, welche Firmenbeitra ¨ge, Vernetzung von Firmen und Organisationen, sowie Rekruitierung von wissenschaftlichem und leitendem Personal am Orte als dynamische kollektive Lernprozesses leisten. Er stellt jedoch auch die komplimenta ¨re Bedeutung heraus, welche weiter gefaßte Netzwerke auf Landes-und globaler Ebene fu ¨r Innovationsaufwand, Zusammenarbeit bei Forschungsvorhaben und der Rekrutierung professionellem Personals fu ¨r kleine und mittlere Betriebe haben. Schließich beurteilt der Aufsatz die Relevanz des Begriffes ‘Dichte des Bestandes an Institutionen' bei der Bewertung von Firmenerfahrungen mit regionalen Unterstu ¨tzungsstrukturen und-diensten.

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.
