Symposium: Italian Industrial Districts In The I99Os

Patrizia Tiberi-Vipraio

Industry and Innovation, 1996, vol. 3, issue 2, 103-104

Abstract: This paper reviews the scholarship concerning the rise to economic prominence of the Italian industrial districts, and the causes of some of the difficulties in which some districts have found themselves since the mid-1980s. The paper develops the main lines of the economic advantages that districts enjoyed during a period of rapid growth, resulting from the operation of a market in common which blends competition and cooperation. The effects of globalisation are changing this somewhat 'idyllic' picture, as the structure of linkages between firms comes under pressure. Prospects for the Italian districts in these new circumstances are discussed.
