An analysis of the Spanish ceramic tile industry research contracts and patents
2018
In this work, we apply a systemic approach to the analysis of a particular geographic territory, the industrial district. We are particularly interested in analysing the interaction between the productive-technological environment and the scientific environment by an examination of research contracts and patents.

Final producers’ innovation efforts were related to non-technological aspects and differentiation.
