Chapter Chapter 9 in Dynamics of Distribution and Diffusion of New Technology, 2016, pp 199-221 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter provides a complementary analysis on the embedding of firms and its effect on the process of adoption from a spatial perspective. The main objective of this chapter thus is to study the impact of geographical proximity on new technology adoption in the context of Indian Auto component industry. Taking further the analysis of the determinants of adoption, which was the thrust of the preceding chapter, herewith we explicate the diffusion phenomenon in a geographical setting and investigate the facilitative role of proximity (both in the geographical and relational sense) on the adoption of AMTs.
