Philip Cooke and Kevin Morgan explore important issues of corporate
reorganization in the context of heightened global competition.
Their special focus is upon how firms associate with regional
milieux. Innovation is a key factor in corporate and regional
economic performance and the authors show how interactive
innovation based on collective learning and associative practices
are becoming increasingly significant. In-depth studies of
inter-firm and firm-agency interactions are presented for four
European regions: Baden-Wurttemberg and Emilia-Romagna as
accomplished regional economies; Wales and the Basque Country as
learning regions. The book is theoretically informed by an
evolutionary economics perspective and draws policy conclusions
which emphasise the importance of decentralized industrial policy
in support of both corporate and regional economic development
ambitions. It concludes that the associational economy may be the
`third way' between state and market co-ordination of modern
economies.
