Intrapreneurship and regional development in the South East of Ireland
Intrapreneurship is known to play an important role in enhancing innovation and competitiveness within firms. However, there remains a dearth of literature on the workings of intrapreneurship at the regional level. Based on a qualitative analysis of intrapreneurship in the South East Region of Ireland, this paper explores the link between intrapreneurship and regional development. It makes several contributions that further the understanding of i…
A measure for identifying substantial geographic concentrations
Regional economic resilience in Ireland
This paper examines the resilience of Irish regions during the course of the post- \n2007 economic crisis, focusing specifically on employment change in firms in receipt \nof assistance from the Irish government’s enterprise development agencies. The paper \nclassifies both regions and sectors in terms of their employment performance both \nbefore and during the recession and employs a number of techniques to assess the \nroles of sectoral compos…
Social and Spatial Structures of Innovation in the Irish Animation Industry
This paper assesses the relevance of the knowledge base conceptualization and the relationship between the symbolic knowledge base and the spatiality of knowledge flow in the context of the animation industry in Ireland. The paper draws on findings from a study of four innovation case studies. In broad terms, the findings provide further support for the applicability of the knowledge base approach and the association of the animation industry wit…
Spatial Concentration in the I rish Pharmaceutical Industry
This paper explores the idea that spatial planning‐triggered satellite industrial platform‐type concentrations may, over time, automatically gain the capacity to generate substantial agglomeration economies and ultimately transform into entities capable of stimulating self‐perpetuating growth. Applying the lexicon of agglomeration theory, the idea is explored in the context of the spatial dynamics of the pharmaceutical industry in I reland. Spati…

The Drivers of Transnational Subsidiary Evolution
Van Egeraat C. and Breathnach P. The drivers of transnational subsidiary evolution: the upgrading of process R&D in the Irish pharmaceutical industry, Regional Studies . This paper contributes to the theory of subsidiary evolution in large corporations through an examination of the driving forces behind upgrading of process research and development (R&D) activities in the Irish pharmaceutical industry. Drawing on a survey of pharmaceutical plants…
Revisiting the ‘Informational City’
n The paper engages with the notion that the new spatial logic, underpinned by information and communication technology (ICT) and the `space of flows?, manifests itself in the form of `informational cities? described as multinuclear spatial structures or polycentric city-regions in the knowledge-based economy. Focusing on the geography of knowledge-intensive business services (KIBS) the paper argues that there is little evidence of such polycentr…

The Geography of Production Linkages in the Irish and Scottish Microcomputer Industry
This paper considers the idea that technical information exchange in the context of time‐based‐competition encourages buyer‐supplier proximity and local production linkages. The relevance of this idea was tested in a study of 11 subsidiaries of multinational microcomputer assemblers operating in Ireland and Scotland. We show that the assembly plants sourced the vast majority of inputs from regions outside Ireland and Britain and where we find reg…
The rise and demise of the Irish and Scottish computer hardware industry
This paper examines the dynamics of the computer hardware industry in Ireland and Scotland in a global context, from its inception in the late 1950s to the present. It provides a detailed account of plant openings and closures in both the system assembly and the component manufacturing segment. It describes the development of the computer hardware industry from mainframe assembly, through minicomputer assembly to microcomputer assembly and the sh…
