Abstract (EN)
Collective learning is associated with entrepreneurs exchange forms. Between organizations, coordination capabilities are limited by the absence of a formal hierarchy defining who has the "right to know". In this context, the relational proximity induced by industrial co-localization facilitates the emergence of coordination mechanisms. The analysis of the French Biotech entrepreneurs’ relationships allows us to highlight some of these mechanisms, in particular the existence of differentiated roles in the local exchange system.
