Alternative
Fuel Technology Projects
This
significant topic is being explored through a range of case
studies focussing on the development of alternative fuel technology in
the car industry. A current dimension of this work involves examining
patent data to plot the development of fuel cell technology. More
specifically, the study identifies the characteristics of the networks
forming between both groups of firms and individual inventors. This
allows us to build an undertsanding of the relationship between the
previously isolated ideas of structural holes and social capital.
