The Effects of Cooperation and Knowledge Spillovers in Knowledge Environment

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Knowledge Spillovers in Regional Innovation Systems

Part of the book series: Advances in Spatial Science ((ADVSPATIAL))

Abstract

Knowledge is unequivocally one of the new sources of economic growth, though its use is not a new phenomenon from the economic perspective. The role of knowledge, along with its connection to innovation and economic performance, is a topic of interest for a growing number of researchers. Thus, many studies have been investigating not only the relationship between creating knowledge and innovation, but also the relationship between knowledge, creating innovation, and company performance—as well as economic growth. The collaboration plays in this process very important role. Participation in cooperation has thus become an important company tool, thanks to which the given participants are able to mutually support creation of knowledge, acquisition, transfer knowledge spillovers. The process of knowledge spillover is becoming increasingly important—primarily due to the potential it has for bringing value added to production processes. However, it is a process that is difficult to record and analyze; moreover, its results can be seen only over the long term. The goal of this theoretical overview chapter is to define spillover effects, describe their emergence and relationship to innovative activities, and subsequently depict their diverse influence as they operate in individual countries. The last section is devoted to the problem of measuring spillover effects, because it has not yet been possible to record and measure knowledge spillovers, and there is still the problem of which method to use when measuring them.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Tacit knowledge is knowledge that has never been recorded in explicit form and therefore cannot be easily transferred between individual entities; for the most part, this means experience and know-how. On the other hand, codified (explicit) knowledge is knowledge that can be recorded and can thus be easily interpreted and transferred—i.e., handbooks or instruction manuals (Neef et al. 1998).

  2. 2.

    Spillover effects are the process of direct (and indirect) knowledge transfer from one party to the next—or also often to third parties—who are not directly involved in the given process; this is an example of a positive externality. The problem of spillover effects is covered in the second part of this chapter.

  3. 3.

    Despite long-standing industrial traditions (specifically within Central and Eastern Europe Countries).

  4. 4.

    This is confirmed by research results from “INKA—Innovation Capacity 2014,” published by the Technology Agency of the Czech Republic in 2015.

  5. 5.

    This is the same in the Czech Republic, where the Operational Programme Enterprise and Innovation for Competitiveness is an important tool for supporting Czech entrepreneurs using EU funds from the EU’s Programme 2014–2020. Its goal is to achieve a competitive and sustainable economy based on knowledge and innovation.
