It is widely recognized that the performance and development of
firms are heavily influenced by their environment and that the
conditions that prevail in the local or regional milieu seem to be
particularly important. Furthermore, the fact that economic,
entrepreneurial and innovative activities tend to agglomerate at
certain places, leading to patterns of national and regional
specialization, is increasingly seen to give important insights
into the very process of firm competitiveness and industrial
transformation. Drawing on other literature and case study material
from selected industries, and elaborating on key concepts such as
firms and competencies, industries and industrial systems, and
competitiveness and prosperity, the authors set out to answer some
broad research questions such as what is competition about in
today's economy, and how is the performance of firms and industries
related to space and place?; why do geographical areas (local
milieus, cities, regions, countries) specialize in particular types
of economic activity?; and why do patterns of specialization, once
in place, tend to be so tremendously durable?
