The factors that determine growth at the industry level are
different for innovative versus mature industries. Growth
industries rely on high-quality workers, access to capital,
technical change, and numerous forms of collected economies. Mature
industries concentrate on low-input costs and minimizing costs for
wages, transportation, taxes, material, etc. This approach is
adopted here to consider the growth and development of metropolitan
economies.In twelve chapters, eminent scholars provide a complete
review of what works - and what doesn't - in generating economic
development. What are the potential and the reality of producer
services, suburban business centers, enterprise zones,
technology-based ventures, and industrial incubators? How can
economic development policy improve the incubator effect? Is there
a nationwide venture capital network? What are the locational
requirements of firms in high-growth industries? Finally, what are
the consequences of failed growth?This comprehensive collection
includes chapters by Edwin S. Mills; Patricia E. Beeson; Mark A.
Satterthwaite; Breandan O Huallachain; John F. McDonald; William B.
Beyers; Truman A. Hartshorn; Peter O. Muller; Rodney A. Erickson;
Richard Florida; Donald F. Smith, Jr.; Claudia Bird Schoonhoven;
Kathleen M. Eisenhardt; Stephen Nord; Robert G. Sheets; and Thomas
R. Hammer. This workis a must read for policymakers, planners,
analysts, and students.
