Abstract: In this paper, we discuss the notion of embeddedness in relation to knowledge and knowledge processes. We distinguish embeddedness in terms of institutional contexts, in terms of clusters and networks, and in terms of spatial proximity. An overview of empirical cases of knowledge processes leads to the conclusion that spatial proximity is not inherently important to these processes. Spatial concentration of knowledge processes may nevertheless occur for other reasons.
