FOCUS ON KNOWLEDGE FLOWS
•
Innovation involves bidirectional knowledge flows,
ecosystems that involve intense linkages and interactions
through which knowledge circulates freely are more
effective
•
Actors in knowledge circulation processes perform more
effectively when they have shared meanings,
understanding and objectives
•
There are no simple trade-offs between openness to
knowledge sourced outside national borders and the
strengthening of domestic technological capabilities
(Marcelle 2014, 2004, Bell 2009).
