Search of patterns of behavior in the networks of interrelations in innovating spaces

Abstract

The interaction between organizations and the innovation is both axes on which the newproductive dynamics turn. The objective of this article is to verify the existence or not of acommon model or pattern in the network of existing relations between innovating and technologicalcompanies in the Spanish technological parks.This objective implies to study the existing networks established in these areas from areticular perspective as well as from the point of view of the search of an explanatory model.This model is based not only on the «attributes» of the companies but also on the relationalvariables extracted from the flows between them. We apply the model to the network of threeTechnological Parks, and from the results we conclude that the structure of the network isdetermined, in addition to the variables taken into account, by the socio-institutional and industrialconditions of the geographic area where they are settled.
