The Global Challenge to Industrial Districts - Small and Medium-sized Enterprises in Italy and Taiwan (Paperback, New edition):... The Global Challenge to Industrial Districts - Small and Medium-sized Enterprises in Italy and Taiwan (Paperback, New edition)
Paolo Guerrieri, Simona Iammarino, Carlo Pietrobelli
R1,591 Discovery Miles 15 910 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

The current trend towards globalization is posing a substantial challenge to SME clusters to restructure and reach out to distant markets and knowledge sources, while at the same time exploiting the advantages of local factors and agglomeration. This book represents a first attempt to analyze these issues in detail, employing novel empirical evidence. The authors focus on Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) in Italy and Taiwan, two countries in which these businesses characterize the national industrial structure. They find that in the current climate of globalization, there is no best practice model for organizing an industrial cluster since a diversity of successful institutional arrangements is possible. They demonstrate that over time SME clusters can evolve and that globalization can reshape their upgrading options by providing a variety of international knowledge linkages. Thus, the authors conclude that the development of local and global networks and new interactive modes of knowledge creation, which have co-evolved as a result of globalization, have provided the necessary conditions for competitive survival. Taking a multidisciplinary approach, the authors utilize a number of analytical tools to evaluate their survey data and present an original comparison between the experiences of two countries that are facing the challenges of globalization, often with differing strategies. This book will be of great interest to industrial and international economists, policymakers, and corporate and SME managers.

Multinationals and Economic Geography - Location, Technology and Innovation (Paperback): Simona Iammarino, Philip McCann Multinationals and Economic Geography - Location, Technology and Innovation (Paperback)
Simona Iammarino, Philip McCann
R1,800 Discovery Miles 18 000 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

After more than fifty years of systematic research on multinational enterprises (MNEs) what is apparent is that there is, as yet, no unified or dominant theory of the MNE. The objective of this book is to bring into focus one particular dimension of MNE behaviour and activity that has been relatively under-researched - namely the geography of the multinational enterprise - as understood through the lens of innovation and technological change. The authors clearly demonstrate that geography is becoming increasingly important for MNEs and, in turn, MNEs are becoming progressively more important for economic geography. The pivot on which this vital relationship turns is the creation, diffusion and management of new knowledge. This unique book will prove a fascinating read for academics, students and researchers across a broad range of areas including geography, economic geography, regional science, international business and management, innovation studies, economic development. Professionals such as corporate managers and policymakers in these fields would also find this book to be of great interest.

In globalising economies, particularly those going through a process of economic integration such as those economies within the EU, regions forge an increasing number of linkages with other locations within and across national borders. This is largely carried out by the technological efforts of Multinational Corporations (MNCs).

Using an empirical analysis John Cantwell and Simona Iammarino cover such important themes as: MNC technological activities and economic wealth MNCs and the regional systems of innovation in Italy, UK, Germany and France the geographical hierarchy across European national borders.
