Abstract

Founding of the theoretical research program is an institutional, scientific and geographical journey. Always there is an object: the territory, because it allows, encourages and crystallizes all interactions and dynamics, social and economic, industrial and reticular . This is the explanation of the title of this paper on my research conducted in being developed and planned currently "TERRITORIES, INDUSTRIES, INNOVATIONS and NETWORKS".

This approach is original because it includes, in a resolutely multidisciplinary and systemic approach, the contributions of economists crossed eyes, sociologists and managers. Finally, this research program has six research areas: structural analysis and theory of economic dominance - social networks, technology networks and strategic behavior - Institutional Networks and new forms of governance - Infrastructure networks and new uses - Strategies of actors and production of territories - Learning, knowledge, skills, anchors. ; Des recherches fondatrices à l'inscription théorique du programme de recherches, c'est un cheminement institutionnel, scientifique et géographique.

C'est l'explication du titre de ce mémoire sur mes travaux de recherche réalisés, en cours d'élaboration et en projet actuellement : " TERRITOIRES, INDUSTRIES, INNOVATIONS et RESEAUX ".
