Butzin A. and Widmaier B. Exploring territorial knowledge dynamics through innovation biographies, Regional Studies. An in-depth methodological discussion of the innovation biography research approach is provided. Innovation biographies allow the study of time–space dynamics of knowledge and ways of knowledge combination in innovation processes from a micro-level perspective. They are the pertinent approach to analysis of territorial knowledge dynamics. Innovation biographies enable the capture of social relations, contextual settings, and the cross-sectoral and multi-local reach of knowledge developed and applied in innovation processes. By taking a time-related view, key research techniques of innovation biographies are narrative interviewing, network analyses and triangulation.
