Abstract: The aim of this paper is to analyse the consequences of market globalisation on a small industrial district of north-western Italy. Industrial firms in the Cusio don't show wide innovation shapes but according to the firm size we could observe different innovation approaches: on one side small firms concentrate their efforts on the automation manufacturing process, while medium-big firms are much more oriented towards the development of design and sales strategies
