Networks and Technological Change in Regional Clusters

Riccardo Cappellin

Chapter 4 in Innovation Clusters and Interregional Competition, 2003, pp 52-78 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract “Knowledge represents the fundamental resource in the contemporary economy and the process of learning represents the most important process” (Lundvall and Johnson 1994). However, regional clusters are mainly made by small and medium sized firms (SMEs) and the latter are not innovative according to the common indicators, such as RD and patents. Moreover, they usually operate in sectors which are rather traditional and are very different from those which should characterize a modern “knowledge economy”.
