Regional resilience as a foresight approach: Conceptualization and the case of the German Rhineland region
The regional resilience notion conceptualizes capacities of regional economies to withstand and recover from shocks or crises. This paper proposes to combine the concept with aspects of foresight, interpreting dimensions of resilience as a bridge between past and future trends. We also highlight the importance to considering particularly versatile industry fields when regional economies need to cope with a restructuring shock, suggesting that bio…
Industry 4.0 and the Future of Work: Global Production Networks, Global Disassembly Networks, and the Circular Economy
Readers who are familiar with these authors’ works will not be surprised: this book does not explore, as the title may suggest, how Industry 4.0 (i4.0) production technologies, in the original engi
How can a regional innovation system meet circular economy challenges? Conceptualization and empirical insights from Germany
Promoting the circular economy (CE) increasingly draws on regional approaches. But in particular the potentially supportive role of regionally provided innovations requires more exploration. This paper suggests an expanded categorization of innovation demands for the regional CE and integrates them into an enriched conceptualization of the challenge-oriented regional innovation system (CORIS). How the proposed framework can guide regional analysi…
Torn between digitized future and context dependent past – How implementing ‘Industry 4.0’ production technologies could transform the German textile industry
Digital urban production: How does Industry 4.0 reconfigure productive value creation in urban contexts
Enabled by Industry 4.0, new forms of productive value creation emerge in urban spaces. But how the value creation of new digital urban production (DUP) differs from that of incumbent manufacturing and how it benefits from urban contexts remain unclear. Closing this gap, we study DUP firms in selected cities of North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. Results indicate that DUP integrates production and design, and it displays circular problem-based value…

Creating Regional Futures: A Scenario-Based Inter- and Transdisciplinary Case Study as a Model for Applied Student-centred Learning in Geography
Human geography students face changing qualification requirements due to a shift towards new topics, educational tasks and professional options regarding issues of spatial development. This ‘practical turn’ raises the importance of inter- and transdisciplinary work, management and capability building skills, with case study projects and student-centred learning providing suitable approaches. This paper introduces the example of the teaching and r…
Looking Behind Facades: Evaluating Effects of (Automotive) Cluster Promotion
n Promoting industrial clusters meanwhile features as a major guideline of regional economic support all over the world. Despite of a vivid debate about the concept and its application, research has rarely empirically evaluated the added effects of cluster initiatives, and applied methods have hardly been adequate to the task. This paper discusses general issues of assessing cluster promotion and suggests an empirical approach. It presents findin…
Development on the ground: Clusters, networks and regions in emerging economies * Allen J. Scott and Gioacchino Garofoli (Eds)
Conference proceedings like this one, the outcome of a workshop held in 2005, typically run dangers of suffering from various pitfalls in that they compile a set of heterogeneous contributions that widely vary with respect to thematic focus and research heuristics, and essential insights have often been published elsewhere before. This volume addresses an important and intensely debated issue, comprises many enlightening chapters, and is edited b…

The Indonesian technology region of Bandung: High potential, low profile
Almost unremarked by the outside world, and overshadowed by the country's current troubles, Indonesia offers remarkable regional clusters of indigenous knowledge-intensive firms. One of the most important areas is Bandung, West Java, which can be characterised as a technology region; many companies have been operating there for decades, and a self-sustaining specialisation in sophisticated activities has developed. Bandung is a missed regional de…
Regional Cycles of Learning: Foreign Multinationals as Agents of Technological Upgrading in Less Developed Countries
Within the debate about positive effects of foreign multinational branch plants on host regions in less developed countries questions of technological learning and upgrading rank at the top. This paper describes forces and mechanisms which, under favourable conditions, promote dissemination of know-how through the dynamics of regional cycles of learning. Enriching earlier insights into the local embedding of subsidiaries and processes of cumulati…
Das „kreative Milieu” — nur theoretisches Konzept oder Instrument der Regionalentwicklung?
Theories of successful regional development which, like the “creative milieu” concept, stress the importance of networks of personal contacts quite rightly attract the interest of those involved in the practice of regional development planning. This article presents some of the key ideas behind this concept and evaluates them with regard to the possibility of translating them into planning instruments. A selection of examples of “creative milieus…
