O Papel do Capital Social nos Sistemas Regionais de Inovação
Abstract
Neste artigo, o autor defende a ideia que a utilização do conceito capital social nos estudos de inovação e, em particular, na abordagem dos Sistemas Regionais de Inovação, justifica-se pela importância crescente da interactividade na actividade inovadora das regiões. No entanto, a incorporação do conceito nas políticas públicas não está isenta de problemas e muitos deles resultam das próprias dificuldades da teoria. Assim, são recenseadas algumas das questões que terão que ser resolvidas nos estudos do capital social e que, como tal, deverão fazer parte de uma agenda de investigação futura.
