创新环境研究是20世纪90年代国际学术界创新研究的重点领域之一。创新环境论最先是由欧洲创新环境研究小组(GREMI)的学者们在研究欧洲高新产业区的过程中提出来的。后来不少西方学者根据自己的学术背景从不同视角阐述了产业集群创新环境概念和理论。与西方学者的研究相呼应,近年来国内学者也开展了对产业集群创新环境的研究,创新网络的概念也逐步在国内得到广泛传播和普遍应用。总之,创新环境是在某区域内形成并随技术进步不断调整各种网络关系的总括。环境是创新赖以进行的一个重要意境,是产业集群形成社会支持系统,环境为创新提供了条件,创新过程的结果就会形成产业集群。
Researeh on technological innovation environment is one of the important Fields of the International Academic Circle in the 1990s. Remarks on innovation environment were put forward by the seholars of GREMI in the process of studying on the role of industrializing high teehnology in Europe. After that, many western seholars, aeeording to their ownselves aeademie baek- ground, explained the eoneept and theory of industrial dusters innovation environment from multi-perspeetive. In reeent years, some Chinese seholars also have begun to research industrial elusters innovation environment in the sequenee of western seholars, the eoneept of innovation network also was widespread and popularly used. In a whole word, innovation environment is the generalization on all sorts of network relations that formed in some zone and modified eontinually as teehnology advanee. Environment is an important milieu that innovation depends on, and the result of innovation process is the form of industrial dusters.
