Abstract: Abstract A broad range of concepts and measures are needed to provide a quantitative description of the industry and to analyze the initially raised research questions. Focus is on using applied methods in calculating geographical and network-related measures. Chapter 5 is divided into three sections: Section 5.1 presents some general graph theoretical concepts. Section 5.2 provides an overview of techniques and measures for the structural analysis of interorganizational networks. More precisely, we present most commonly used network measures at three analytical levels: actor level, subgroup level and overall network level. Finally, in Sect.5.3 we outline a selection of spatial proximity and geographical concentration concepts that were applied in the analytical part of the study.
