Abstract

In the literature on regional innovation systems, one strand of study has identified a number of gaps that limit the efficiency and effectiveness of regional innovation systems, including so‐called ‘managerial gaps’, ‘structural holes’, ‘innovation gaps’, and ‘valleys of death’. Our project aims to demonstrate how social capital, in a creative tension that balances bonding and bridging elements, may contribute to reducing these specific gaps identified in the regional innovation systems literature. This perspective is analysed within a particular context: the Mondragon Cooperative Group in the Basque Country. En la literatura sobre sistemas regionales de innovación, una línea de estudio ha identificado una serie de vacíos que limitan la eficiencia y la eficacia de los sistemas regionales de innovación, como los llamados"vacíos de gestión","vacíos estructurales","vacíos de innovación" y "valles de la muerte". Este proyecto tiene por objeto demostrar cómo el capital social, en una tensión creativa que equilibra los elementos de unión y de puente, puede contribuir a reducir estos vacíos específicos identificados en la literatura de los sistemas regionales de innovación. Esta perspectiva se analiza en un contexto en particular: el Grupo Cooperativo Mondragón en el País Vasco. 地域のイノベーションシステムに関する研究論文において、あるテーマの一連の研究により、いわゆる「マネジリアルギャップ (managerial gaps)」、「構造的空隙 (structural holes)」 「イノベーションギャップ (innovation gaps)」、「死の谷 (valleys of death)」など、地域のイノベーションシステムの効率性と効果を制限する多くのギャップが存在することが確認されている。本プロジェクトは、結合的要素とブリッジング的要素の均衡を取る創造的緊張の中で、社会資本がイノベーションシステムに関する研究論文中に認められるこれらの特異的なギャップの軽減に貢献する可能性があることを証明することを目的としている。スペインのバスク州のモンドラゴン協同組合企業 (the Mondragon Cooperative Group in the Basque Country)という特定のコンテクストにおいて、この見解を分析する。
