Abstract
The main goal of the thesis is to identify agglomeration effects and graphically illustrate their potential impact on the innovation process. Majority of authors consider effects in the transfer of technologies, transfer of know-how and knowledge spillover as the most important agglomeration effects. Variables from the Johansson´s model (2004) are selected as a basis for the formal expression of the agglomeration effects in the innovation process of individual company. The demonstration is supported by graphical model created using fuzzy-logic system in Mat lab computing environment. As input parameters were selected: (1)unsuccessful innovative effort, (2) R&D effort and (3) diffusion of innovations. Spatially oriented color-coded graphs are final results.
Keywords
- Agglomeration effect
- diffusion of innovation
- spatial externalities
