Abstract
We apply social network analysis methods to describe the evolution of the innovator network of Jena, Germany in the period from 1995 to 2001. We find this evolution to be directed towards an increasing focus on core competencies of the network. Further we analyse the network resulting from R&D cooperations and explain – by means of network regression techniques – that the job mobility of scientists and the technological overlap between the actors, rather than past cooperations, can best predict the resulting structure.
