Abstract

Studies on creation and absorption of knowledge by firms have gained relevance as innovation became strategic for competitiveness of firms. Two theoretical frameworks, linked to different knowledge fields, are relevant for these studies: evolutionary economics and evolutionary economic geography. However the latter is still an emergent research field in Brazil. This article first discusses the complementarities between the contributions of both frameworks to the analysis of knowledge in firms. This discussion provides elements to propose a research agenda to Brazilian studies on creation and diffusion of knowledge firms under an evolutionary perspective that takes into consideration the main elements of territories.
