Unfolding Cluster Evolution, Paperback / softback Book

Unfolding Cluster Evolution Paperback / softback

Edited by Fiorenza Belussi, Jose Luis Hervas-Oliver

Part of the Regions and Cities series

Paperback / softback

Description

Various theories have been put forward as to why business and industry develops in clusters and despite good work being carried out on path dependence and dynamics, this is still very much an emerging topic in the social sciences.

To date, no overarching theoretical framework has been developed to show how clusters evolve. Unfolding Cluster Evolution aims to address this gap by presenting theoretical and empirical research on the geography of innovation.

This contributed volume seeks to shed light on the understanding of clusters and its dynamic evolution.

The book provides evidence to suggest that traditional perspectives from evolutionary economic geography need to be wedded to management thinking in order to reach this point.

Bringing together thinking from a range of disciplines and countries across Europe, this book explores a wide range of topics from the capability approach, to network dynamics, to multinational corporations, to firm entry and exit and social capital. This book will be of interest to policy makers and students of urban studies, economic geography, and planning and development.
