Recently, the international division of labour in industrial
production has grown increasingly more volatile. The separation
between 'high-end' tasks undertaken in the traditional core
economies and 'low-end' tasks undertaken in newly emerging
economies has become increasingly blurred. The new dynamics and
unpredictability of actor and process configurations in
internationalized production bring new challenges for research in
economic geography, regional economics and management sciences. The
allocation of R&D and production mandates within or between
enterprises, the setting up, closing down, purchase or sale of
subsidiaries at different localities, the shifting patterns of
collaborative innovation, together with newly evolving forms of
capitalism, all appear to interact in ways not seen before. It
appears we have entered a new era termed 'industrial transition'.
This book forms the first approach toward conceptualising the term
and compiling illustrative empirical underpinnings. Contributions
by an international set of renowned economic geographers highlight
the major features and case studies of 'industrial transition' and
address various questions that matter for the future of our global
economy: How are regions and localities affected by the shift of
product mandates? In which ways do changes differ between
industrial sectors and economic regions? How can regions and
localities adequately prepare for or react to foreseeable changes;
and how can regional resilience and response capacities be built
and enhanced?
