Urban Innovation Networks

Alexander Gutzmer
This book offers fresh insights into how companies can engage with, and make use of, the modern metropolis. Based on actor-network theory and the resource-based view of the firm, it demonstrates how the contemporary city can be seen ¿ and used ¿ as a resource for corporate innovation. The main argument is that companies have to build what the author calls ¿urban innovation networks.¿ After a theory-based outline of such networks, the author demonstrates the extent to which different institutional players ¿ companies such as Audi, Ikea and Siemens, but also arts institutions like the Haus der Kunst in Munich ¿ are already working to create them. The book combines management thinking with urban theory and the sociology of networks to create a unique blend of different views of capitalism and space, offering a new perspective on both the modern metropolis and globally operating companies active within our distinctly urban culture.
