SME clusters as the driving force behind the popularization of slow fashion
The textile-clothing industries and markets for fashion are a worldwide generator of economic growth but also of pollution and poor working conditions. They have raised attention to sustainability and the possibility of changing the status quo dominated by fast fashion. New concepts and slow fashion movements have emerged in the last two decades, with sustainable fashion niches and recent supportive regulations. While some big fast fashion brands…
Conceptualizing the system-based university
Universities operate in a complex landscape that increasingly requires them to balance global competitiveness with regional engagement while addressing a growing range of third mission (TM) activities. Existing models – such as the entrepreneurial and civic universities – offer distinct approaches to TM but are often framed as opposing paradigms, reinforcing a divide between economic and social TM orientations. This paper advances the System-Base…
The effect of cultural and creative production on human capital
Structural change and agency in territorial development
This paper focuses on combinations of structural and agency conditions in mature industrial districts that face contemporary challenges potentially disrupting their traditional paths. These districts need to adopt new forms and paths of territorial development. Specifically, we aim to enhance the comprehension of combinations that either support or hinder rerouting to new forms and paths. We propose a conceptual framework of structural change, in…
Effects of learning, unlearning and forgetting on path development
The paper examines processes of knowledge transformation in Industrial Districts (IDs) and how they contribute to industrial path development. Drawing on a case study of the footwear IDs in the provinces of Macerata and Fermo, Italy, we discuss how the knowledge configuration of the ID, within and outside of its core industry, changes as a result of internationalization activities, affecting path development. The Fermo IDs are characterized by a …
Social innovation governance and the role of universities
Regions beyond Industry 4.0
This special issue presents a collection of papers that explore from different angles the opportunities and challenges that Industry 4.0 poses to regions and cities. Papers investigate issues concerning: regional economies’ potential in creating new technologies by mapping the regional distribution of technological innovation capabilities and technological adoption; the implications for jobs and labour markets of the related regional socio-econom…
Forms of place leadership in local productive systems
Place leadership (PL) influences the capability of places hit by disruptive challenges to react and reroute to new paths of development. Recent contributions consider the positive role of PL, while negative aspects are still under-investigated. This paper proposes a conceptual framework that, focusing on local productive systems (LPSs), explores PL’s dark side. Forms of PL accompanying LPSs show different degrees of openness and strength that int…
Accumulation of cultural capital at the intersection of socio-demographic features and productive specializations
Territorial servitization and new local productive configurations
This paper addresses territorial servitization in manufacturing systems of small and medium-sized enterprises, introducing a framework for the interpretation of changes in local productive configurations and the assessment of territorial servitization trajectories. It includes three main variables: multiplicity of know-hows, transaction costs and the entrepreneurial drive. Moreover, it proposes a mixed methodology that elaborates proxies of these…
An empirical analysis of district external economies based on a structure-conduct-performance framework
Place-renewing leadership
The forces of globalisation now impacting on local economies pose threats to the existing paradigm of competences and routines, yet simultaneously offer opportunities to integrate new knowledge and learning. This is particularly pertinent with respect to Europe's ‘mature regions’, which are undergoing a major economic restructuring by trying to shift from traditional manufacturing activities to hybrid activities that comprise a combination of man…
Critical Nodes and Contemporary Reflections on Industrial Districts
A Handbook of Industrial Districts
From Industrial Districts to Local Development
From Industrial Districts to Local Development introduces a set of papers representing the main contribution of the ‘Florence school’ to the recent literature on industrial districts. The authors illustrate that the revitalisation of the concept of industrial districts, returning to Alfred Marshall’s nineteenth-century writings, is rooted in an unconventional interpretation of the economic development of Tuscany after the Second World War.
Innovation and Change in the Marshallian Industrial District
One of the relatively neglected aspects of studies of industrial districts is that of processes of innovation and structured change. In the paper, a preliminary theorization is offered, with evidence from a case in Tuscany. The paper concludes that creative capacities embedded at the local level may be valuable in this respect.
