Chapter Chapter 4 in Implementing Sustainability Strategies in Networks and Clusters, 2017, pp 101-111 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter provides an insight into Italian districts from empirical research that finds its justification in the current unbundling of productive processes and the nature of the economic tissue characterised by the almost exclusive practice of SMEs in highly specialised production areas, known as industrial districts. The strong tie to the socio-cultural features of the region (milieu), would enable districts to foster the sustainable development of local community, and through the implementation of viable business practices enhance their local resources so as to give life to ‘unique and irreplaceable’ competitive models. The survey has been conducted with eight production centres of the typical ‘made in Italy’ supply chains in Campania, a region of southern Italy. The methodology/approach has relied on the analysis of public sources available, as well as on a number of direct interviews with the representatives of both districts and production centres.
