Abstract

The dynamics of complex processes of knowledge migration are strongly influenced by the receptiveness of the territorial background such as nations, regions or locations. With regard to a regional assimilation of new knowledge the processes of knowledge migration offer several opportunities for regional policy-making that aim at bringing knowledge into the region. In order to understand knowledge beyond its “visible” or “measurable” aspects, a further cultural element has to be added to the standard set of socio-economic indicators, which constitute the collective explicit knowledge in a region. This cultural element, in contrast, refers to the collective tacit knowledge dimension in regional development that allows us to understand the prospects for a regional assimilation of new knowledge and to explain socio-economic variations among regions beyond the mechanical logic of statistics-based rankings and foresights. Regional knowledge culture is therefore conceived as the product of collective explicit and collective implicit (or tacit) knowledge components.
