Abstract
⺠We analyze the network structure and R&D activities of the information and communication technology (ICT) industry in Suzhou municipality. ⺠The ICT industry in Suzhou has a dual-structure, segmented between foreign-invested enterprises (FIEs) and domestic firms. ⺠TNCs tend to network among themselves, while the linkages sbetween TNCs and local firms are weak. ⺠A series of technological, structural, spatial, and institutional ''mismatches” limits the establishment of ''global pipelines” of knowledge exchange.
