英文文献摘要:
The role of informal networks in the development of regional clusters has received a lot of attention in the literature recently. Informal contact between employees in different firms is argued to be one of the main carriers of knowledge between firms in a cluster. This paper empirically examines the role of informal contacts in a specific cluster. In a recent questionnaire, we ask a sample of engineers in a regional cluster of wireless communication firms in Northern Denmark, a series of questions on informal networks. We analyze whether the engineers actually acquire valuable knowledge through these networks. We find that the engineers do share even valuable knowledge with informal contacts. This shows that informal contacts are important channels of knowledge diffusion.
非正式网络在区域集群发展中的作用近年来受到了文献的广泛关注。不同企业员工之间的非正式接触被认为是集群中企业间知识的主要载体之一。本文从实证的角度考察了非正式接触在特定群体中的作用。在最近的一份调查问卷中,我们向丹麦北部一群无线通信公司的工程师询问了一系列关于非正式网络的问题。我们分析工程师们是否真的通过这些网络获得了有价值的知识。我们发现,工程师们甚至与非正式的联系人分享有价值的知识。这说明非正式接触是知识传播的重要渠道。
