Diversified Agglomeration, Specialized Agglomeration and Innovation Efficiency of Pharmaceutical Manufacturing

Innovation, Diffusion and Agglomeration

Innovation , agglomeration , and regional development

This paper provides a critical examination of the widely disseminated view that innovation in all or most activities is favoured by certain common characteristics in the local ‘milieu’, involving a cluster of many small firms benefiting from flexible inter-firm alliances, supported by mutual information exchanges of both an informal and formal nature. The general applicability of this model, an...

Agglomeration, Innovation and Regional Development

Innovation and technological change are central to the quest for regional development. In the globally-connected knowledge-driven economy, the relevance of agglomeration forces that rely on proximity continues to increase, paradoxically despite declining real costs of information, communication and transportation. Globally, the proportion of the population living in cities continues to grow and...

Agglomeration and Co-Agglomeration of Services Industries

Economic research on industry location and agglomeration has focused nearly exclusively on manufacturing. This paper shows that services are prominent among the most agglomerated industries, especially at the county level. Because traditional measures of knowledge spillovers, natural resource inputs, and labor pooling explain little of agglomeration in services industries, this paper takes an a...

Agglomeration Tendency in Dry Pharmaceutical Granular Systems During Blending: De-Agglomeration Modeling Approaches

Efficient blending of powders is of critical importance in the manufacture of a wide variety of industrial products, including pharmaceuticals, foods, plastics and agrochemicals [1, 2]. This study determined the influence of geometry of blenders (double cone blender and V-blender), blending speed and time. The blend composed of diclofenac sodium, lactose, magnesium stearate and talc. It was sub...
