Christophe Carrincazeaux et al., « Une analyse régionale comparative de la géographie de l'innovation : le cas des Sfic en France et au Canada », Revue d’Économie Régionale & Urbaine, ID : 10670/1.e02taf
The objective of this article is to analyze the innovation behaviors of Knowledge-Intensive Business Services ( Kibs) in France and Canada (Québec) and to describe the geographic variation of innovation strategies across regions. The empirical results reveal similarities in strategies on both sides of the Atlantic, but also an important difference: innovation strategies, though similar in both countries, are deployed in different types of regions. These exploratory results raise many questions about the transferability of concepts related to the geography of innovation, and highlight both the difficulty of, and need for, studies that are strictly comparable (same concepts, same methods, same data) across different national and continental contexts.
