Global knowledge hubs have two main dimensions

1. Global knowledge base

(Hexagon model)

2. Global knowledge dynamics

(Network models)

Torger Reve

Global knowledge base:

• Industrial agglomeration and

knowledge resource base

• Measured by large national data

bases (firm and employee level

data)

Torger Reve

Global knowledge dynamics:

• Interfirm knowledge linkages

(locally, nationally and globally)

within and across clusters

• Measured through large survey to

more than 10000 firms
