Analysis and Measurement of Interactions in Innovation Systems: A Corporative and Sectoral Approach

Innovation Systems constitute an analysis framework, which helps in comprehending the socioeconomic structure of a territory. In this context, the present research intends to contribute a methodology and a set of indicators which help to increase the knowledge about interactions, and their impact on the innovative capacity of these territories. The methodology thus developed will be tested in a multi-sectoral industrial sector, the Mondragón Cooperative Corporation (MCC), located in the Basque Country. This research, not only defines the measures , but also observes the differences among the networks that constitute the different sectors.
