Innovation Spaces in Asia provides insight into how and why Asia is
poised to impact global innovation. Asia is undergoing rapid
developments in markets, sources of technology and user
preferences. This book provides an empirical understanding and
initial conceptualization of these dynamic processes, including the
role of multinational enterprises, entrepreneurship and public
policy.The accomplished contributors explore case studies of
entrepreneurs and large companies in Asia in order to discuss the
ways in which customers, institutions and firms, both domestic and
foreign, are interacting to affect global processes of innovation
and production. Innovation spaces are analyzed within Asian
countries and firms, from Asia to the world, and from the world to
Asian countries. Students and researchers pursuing innovation,
international business and entrepreneurship will find this to be a
useful read. This book will also be of interest to innovation
managers and public policy practitioners looking for a thorough
guide on the topic. Contributors: S. Bagchi-Sen, E. Bourelos, X.

The impact of economic geography both within and beyond the wider
field of geography has been constrained in the past by its own
limitations. Drawing together the work of several eminent
geographers this superb collection assesses the current state of
knowledge in the sub discipline and its future direction. In doing
so, the contributors show how economic geographers have offered
explanations that affect places and lives in the broader context of
the global economy. Offering a discussion of theoretical constructs
and methodologies with the purpose to show the need to combine
different approaches in understanding spatial (inter) dependencies,
contributors also demonstrate the need to engage with multiple
audiences, and within this context they proceed to examine how
geographers have interfaced with businesses and policy. This
excellent collection moves economic geography from a preoccupation
with theory towards more rigorous empirical research with greater
relevance for public policy. With excellent breadth of coverage, it
provides an outstanding introduction to research topics and
approaches.

Shrinking Cities: Understanding Shrinkage and Decline in the United
States offers a contemporary look at patterns of shrinkage and
decline in the United States. The book juxtaposes the complex and
numerous processes that contribute to these patterns with broader
policy frameworks that have been under consideration to address
shrinkage in U.S. cities. A range of methods are employed to answer
theoretically-grounded questions about patterns of shrinkage and
decline, the relationships between the two, and the empirical
associations among shrinkage, decline, and several socio-economic
variables. In doing so, the book examines new spaces of shrinkage
in the United States. The book also explores pro-growth and
decline-centered governance, which has important implications for
questions of sustainability and resilience in U.S. cities. Finally,
the book draws attention to U.S.-wide demographic shifts and argues
for further research on socio-economic pathways of various groups
of population, contextualized within population trends at various
geographic scales. This timely contribution contends that an
understanding of what the city has become, as it faces shrinkage,
is essential toward a critical analysis of development both within
and beyond city boundaries. The book will appeal to urban and
regional studies scholars from a variety of disciplinary
backgrounds, as well as practitioners and policymakers.

As businesses seek to compete on a global stage, they must be
constantly aware of pressures from all levels: regional, local, and
worldwide. The organizations that can best build advantages in
diverse environments achieve the greatest success. The Handbook of
Research on Global Competitive Advantage through Innovation and
Entrepreneurship explores the emergence of new ideas and
opportunities in various markets and provides organizational
leaders with the tools they need to take full advantage of those
opportunities. With a focus on economic growth in a fast-paced
environment, this handbook is a critical reference for business
leaders, economists, and students of economic theory.
