Shapers or schemers of collaborative governance: Network management in England’s Local Enterprise Partnerships
The coordination of inter-organisational networks is key to their success and yet partnership management in the context of regional economic development remains a complex and ambiguous process. To address this lack of understanding, this article reviews the extant literature on brokerage and network coordination and presents a theoretical framework comprising three propositions on the benefits of a private sector influence over the management and…
Electric vehicles and rural business: Findings from the Warwickshire rural electric vehicle trial
Place leadership: Developing a model to guide regional partnerships
Models of subnational governance have grown in popularity across Europe, but the notion of place-based leadership remains an ideological phenomenon. This paper explores the development of subnational partnerships in England and considers the lack of formal guidance available to local leaders that limits their ability to develop transformational strategies. Drawing on extensive qualitative analysis of England’s local enterprise partnerships, the p…
Do low-paid workers benefit from the urban escalator? Evidence from British cities
Cities are characterised as places of increased human capital accumulation, dynamic labour markets and faster wage growth: in short, places where workers can get ahead. Studies suggest that urban workers can benefit from faster learning and from better job matching. This article assesses the extent to which cities act as escalators for workers in low-wage jobs using panel data from Great Britain covering the period 2009–2014. When defining low pa…
Regional Responses to Recession: The Role of the West Midlands Regional Taskforce
Bailey D. and Berkeley N. Regional responses to recession: the role of the West Midlands Regional Taskforce, Regional Studies. Regional taskforces were set up across the English regions in late 2008 in response to the most severe recession since the Second World War. This paper examines the role of one such body, the West Midlands Regional Taskforce, as an example of regional response to recession, and offers potential lessons for the future in d…
Creative industries and urban regeneration
Over the past decade, creative industries in the UK have enjoyed much high-profile coverage and attention from policy makers and academics, most notably from the inception of the Creative Industries Task Force in 1997 and the publication of the 'Creative industries mapping document' in 1998. Today, much of the political rhetoric declares the creative industries to be key to the future success of the British economy, and an instrumental tool in ur…
Visualising the Operating Behaviour of SMEs in Sector and Cluster: Evidence from the West Midlands
Cluster policy in the UK, pursued by the Regional Development Agencies (RDAs), has readily adopted a simplistic definition based upon industrial sectors and location quotients. Evidence drawn from a study of the operating behaviour of SMEs belonging to two traditional manufacturing industries within the West Midlands—automotive components and clothing—provides a critique of this approach. Whilst the automotive components industry has been designa…
Consumption, exclusion and emotion: The social geographies of shopping
In recent years, a productive dialogue has developed between retail geographers and those social geographers concerned with the spatiality of consumption. This has resulted in a series of accounts of shopping that emphasize notions of consumer creativity. Nonetheless, this paper argues that many of these have struggled to reconcile the meaning of shopping with an understanding of the material parameters within which consumers operate. Recognizing…
Regional variations in business use of information and communication technologies and their implications for policy: Case study evidence from rural England
Telematics and Rural Development: Evidence From a Survey of Small Businesses in the European Union
Indigenous rural development in the peripheral regions of Europe could be encouraged through the uptake of telematics by small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). However, little is known about patterns of and resistances towards the adoption of telematics in rural areas and there exists a view that the main beneficiaries will be larger businesses in core areas of economic activity. After a brief exploration of the relationships between telemati…

CLARK D., ILBERY B. and BERKELEY N. (1995) Telematics and rural businesses: an evaluation of uses, potentials and policy implications, Reg. Studies 29, 171–180. This paper examines the implications of developments in telematics (telecommunications and information technology) for rural businesses and rural economic development. The characteristics of businesses in south Warwickshire and north Lancashire, their awareness and use of telematics, and …
