The proximity literature usually treats proximity in terms of common attributes shared by agents, disregarding the relative position of an actor inside the network. This paper discusses the importance of such dimension of proximity, labelled as in-network proximity, and proposes an empirical measurement for it, assessing its impact (jointly with other dimensions of proximity) on the creation of strong knowledge network ties in ICT in the region of Trentino. The findings show that actors with higher in-network proximity are more attractive for both other central actors and peripheral ones, which is further strengthening their position within the network. In detail, the centrally positioned actors repeat collaboration with other central actors in the network, as central actors gather more ‘reputation’, signalling that they will possess the needed knowledge resources. Relatively peripheral actors, either new or not so active inside the network, seek for collaboration with relatively central actors in order to tap on knowledge resources they do not acquire.

知识网络和牢固联系的建立:相对网络位置的作用

邻近度文献通常根据代理共享的共同属性来对待邻近度,而忽略了参与者在网络中的相对位置。本文讨论了这种接近度的重要性,标记为“网络内接近度”,并对其进行了实证测量,评估了其(与邻近度的其他维度一起)对建立该地区ICT中强大的知识网络纽带的影响。特伦蒂诺。研究结果表明,具有更高网络内邻近度的参与者对于其他中央参与者和外围参与者都更具吸引力,这进一步加强了他们在网络中的地位。详细地讲,随着中央参与者聚集更多的“声誉”,处于中心位置的参与者会与网络中的其他中央参与者重复合作,表示他们将拥有所需的知识资源。在网络内部相对较新的参与者或不太活跃的参与者都在寻求与相对中心的参与者的协作,以利用他们没有获得的知识资源。
