The markets for technology diffusion.
| 1. | Competent people move between firms (labor market turnover). |
| 2. | New firms are spun of from firms or universities (innovative entry or entrepreneurship). |
| 3. | Firms appropriate technology through licensing or learning from other firms (Imitation). |
| 4. | Subcontractors learn from customer firms (competent purchasing). |
| 5. | Technology diffusion is administered within firms (internal technology transfer). |
