The information age is reshaping current socio-economic structures
and processes and this book touches upon the nature of clusters in
the fourth industrial revolution (Industry 4.0; I4.0). It focuses
on the spatial perspective of digital business transformation and
explores in natural context the interrelations between cluster and
I4.0. It investigates the role of knowledge, business relations and
policy in making cluster relevant for Industry 4.0 and uses the
case study method and literature review to develop a conceptual
framework outlining the functioning of Industry 4.0 cluster. This
book argues that locally embedded knowledge accompanied by strong
presence of industry and assisted by proper governance management
facilitate the implementation of I4.0. The idiosyncrasies of
Industry 4.0 impact also the functioning of cluster as they require
more interdisciplinary integrative approach with the provision of
industrial commons and development of related varieties. Natural
processes of stretching of the cluster cannot be prevented, but
should be harnessed for upgrading the core competences of cluster.
This book can enrich existing literature on economic geography and
regional studies by discussing the spatial aspects of digital
transformation. It shows the cluster transformation as induced by
the digital transformation, and will be of interest to researchers,
academics, policymakers, and students who explore the regional and
local development, competitiveness, or managerial aspects of fourth
industrial revolution.
