The learning region offers a new perspective on the dynamics of
change which shape the economy. This book examines the
transformation of the modern economy into one in which knowledge is
the most important resource and learning the most important process
for economic growth. In the modern economy, successful firms, as
well as governments, are those which have control over and access
to flows of information and knowledge of technologies, markets, and
organizational and managerial practices. In order to examine this,
the authors apply innovation, industrial network and institutional
theories to the many factors which together constitute learning
regions: regional innovation policy, geographical clusters of
collaborating firms and the role of research centres in the
innovative potential of regions. They find that the learning region
paradigm opens new possibilities for research and policy and use
case studies in Germany, Holland and Belgium to illustrate these
possibilities. The authors also examine European Union and regional
government policy on innovation and regional development. Finally,
they examine inter-firm and intra-firm collaboration and regional
business and innovation systems. This innovative new book will
prove invaluable to regional scientists, economic geographers and
regional planners.
