| Abstract: | The aim of this study is to investigate how proximity dimensions affect the formation of different knowledge relationships between gatekeepers and other economic actors involved in their knowledge-based networks. The Polytechnic University of Turin's knowledge relationships are identified and distinguished through analysis of its patent joint-developments, citations and R&D projects. The findings reveal e.g. that the university activates collaborative and exploitable relationships with actors characterized by geographical, organizational and technological proximity. Collaborative and explorative relationships require actors characterized by more distant technological competencies. |
