New Growth Poles? Just-in-time Manufacturing and Local Economic Development Strategy
MAIR A. (1993) New growth poles? Just-in-time manufacturing and local economic development strategy, Reg. Studies 27, 207–221. A promising strategy for local economic development based upon harnessing just-in-time manufacturing techniques was widely adopted in North American and European motor industry localities during the 1980s.

Just‐in‐time Manufacturing and the Spatial Structure of the Automobile Industry: Lessons From Japan
From Localised Social Structures to Localities as Agents
The paper is an attempt to clarify the concept of locality for further research by investigating two common meanings of locality: locality as localised social structure and locality as agent. The first is developed through linking local dependence to territorial forms of the division of labour; to enable this a new concept, 'the scale division of labour', is introduced. This concept describes what roles in the social division of labour exist at d…
