Addressing the heterogeneity of and interplay between important
concepts guiding modern regional economic development, this volume
presents a rich variety of state-of-the-art empirical research.
Focusing simultaneously on the meso- and micro-level implications
of globalization, drawing attention to incumbent new market seeking
in entrepreneurship, and highlighting the various forms innovation
can take, the chapters contribute to our understanding of geography
as a facilitator of regional dynamics. The comprehensive approach
to agglomeration economies, the life-cycle development of
industries, proximities and policy responses comes recommended.' -
Frank van Oort, Erasmus University Rotterdam and Utrecht
University, the Netherlands'I would encourage all researchers
interested in entrepreneurship and innovation to read this volume.
It provides a new conceptual approach to the link between global
economic trends and entrepreneurship, through the role of local
space as an important source for innovation. Readers can find old
and new issues on the formation of entrepreneurship elegantly
linked together, so as to provide new insights into this important
field of research.' - Roberta Capello, Politecnico di Milano, Italy
We have, in recent decades, been able to witness a veritable
revolution in the world economy, known as 'globalization'.
Generally, the term is connected to the rapid increase of the free
movement of goods, capital, people, ideas, information and
knowledge around the globe. This book contributes to the meso- and
micro-economic literature on innovation and entrepreneurship in the
global economy. Extending our understanding of the many different
ways that innovation and entrepreneurship contribute to economic
development and growth in a globalized economy, the expert
contributors highlight that the current wave of globalization has
been a period of exceptional entrepreneurship both among large
multinational firms and among independent entrepreneurs. They
demonstrate that location matters for creativity, innovation and
entrepreneurship, and clarify that public policy in a globalized
economy must stress knowledge and ideas as the source of
competitiveness and economic growth. Both graduates and post
graduates, along with university researchers, will find this book
to be useful in their studies, particularly those with an interest
in innovation and entrepreneurship research, regional economics,
economic geography and international economics. Contributors:
