This book makes original contributions to the literature on
clusters, human capital, and regional development by focusing on
the link between entrepreneurship and economic growth, aiming for a
better understanding of the dynamics of growth determined by the
entrepreneur's action in the regional space. The focus is therefore
on critical reflection and rethinking the articulation between
three levels of analysis of economic systems, namely
entrepreneurship, human capital and regional development, which
have not so far been perfectly articulated in the literature of
reference on endogenous growth. Although there has been significant
research so far into the success and failure of clusters, the
implications of these multiple research efforts fail to provide
political decision-makers and company managers with critical
information about which mechanisms lie behind cluster success and
also about how clusters survive and prosper. The innovative
approaches presented in this book on entrepreneurship, human
capital mobility and regional development have considerable
potential to create new and original implications for
decision-makers and managers. In terms of value added, this book
contributes to the literature by seeking answers to the following
questions: (i) Is the growth and success of clusters over time due
to concentration and transmission of business competences through
spin-offs located in a given regional space? (ii) Does increased
density of job options outside the workplace contribute to
increased mobility of human capital between firms located within
clusters, and so improve coordination in the local labor market?
(iii) Do spin-offs benefit from hiring workers from successful
incumbents, inasmuch as those workers are expected to perform
better than other workers from different origins? Integrating
theoretical frameworks, empirical research, and regional case
studies (from Portugal, Spain, Norway and Turkey), the editors and
contributors demonstrate that the regional dynamics of industry
growth are strongly influenced by the mobility of employees towards
new firms.
