About this book
Empirical evidence about cluster building, the emphasis of new growth theory on innovation, the recent interest in economic geography and the high pressure on politicians to establish favourable conditions for attracting dynamic industries have triggered a wave of research during the last decade, trying to understand more deeply why, how and where clusters emerge, and what factors determine their respective success or failure. In this volume the world's leading experts contribute to our understanding of regional innovation, cluster formation and the factors influencing regional productivity and innovative performance. It provides a timely and comprehensive picture on innovation, location, networks and clusters as important means in an environment of intensifying interregional competition.
Reviews
From the reviews:
"This book represents an outgrowth from a 2001 international workshop on ‘innovation clusters and interregional competition’ … . students of cluster-based economic development will find plenty of interesting material in this book. … I rarely buy books these days, especially edited collections. However, I would probably make an exception for this piece. There is a good mix of theoretical, conceptual, empirical, and analytic perspectives … . In short, this is one of the better edited collections I have seen in many years." (Alan MacPherson, Growth & Change, Vol. 35 (2), 2004)
