Internationalizing cluster organizations on market terms
Cluster organizations strengthen the dynamism and performance of clusters. However, internationalization of these organizations remains largely neglected, with existing research failing to clarify how they can internationalize without substantial policy support. To address this knowledge gap, we explore the emergence of an international network of ocean cluster organizations that has developed on market terms, meaning without public involvement a…
Paradoxes and dilemmas in local climate missions
This paper examines local climate missions using paradox theory. We explore how the fundamental paradoxical nature of missions manifests in dilemmas with which mission managers must strategically engage. By studying two local climate missions in Denmark, we identified three dilemmas, their triggers and the mission management’s strategic responses. Importantly, we found that mission resources and place-based leadership are essential in shaping str…

Regional development through entrepreneurial exaptation
Steven Koltai with Matthew Muspratt (2016) “Peace through Entrepreneurship
Spatial Spillovers Revisited
This symposium focuses on understanding key territorial-level innovation trends and processes by country, region and technology. It questions various widely accepted assumptions, offers fresh perspectives, both conceptually and methodologically, and challenges a paradigm shift in the field of innovation and spatial dynamics. It consists of three articles analysing at different scales (urban, regional and national) the territorial dynamics of inno…

Big Data and U . S . Public Policy
This paper examines the growing recognition of the phenomenon called “Big Data” and the policy implications it poses. It is argued that a core policy issue is personal and organizational privacy. At the same time there is a belief that analysis of “Big Data” offers potentially to provide public sector policy makers with extensive new information that would inform policy at unprecedentedly detailed levels. Despite this potential to improve the pol…
Regional systems of entrepreneurship
This book presents some of Zoltán J. Ács’ most important contributions since the turn of the the new millennium, with a particular intellectual focus on the knowledge spillover theory of entrepreneurship. This approach was shaped by three major events: the rapid globalization that occurred in the first decade of the 21st century; research on the role institutions have played in economic development during the past few decades; and the spread of e…

Do Microfinance Programmes Really Serve the Poor? Evidence from Rural Southeast Nepal
During the past 25 years development organisations worldwide have increasingly relied on microfinance programmes to help alleviate poverty and achieve various development objectives. These programmes typically aim to provide financial services to poor households that otherwise cannot access formal financial markets. One such example programme is the Grameen Bikas Bank (GBB) in rural southeast Nepal. While GBB targets poor households, the evidence…

The long term educational needs of a high-technology society
This paper provides a synthesis of information from extant research and policy documentation on information technology (IT) workforce issues in the US and abroad. In particular, it addresses some of the issues that concerned the USA's 21st Century Workforce Commission, which was established to look at the IT labour market. It defines the IT market fairly broadly and is concerned with the overall IT workforce. The paper covers both supply and dema…

Learning and Learning Capability in the Fordist and Post-Fordist Age
In this paper we use the concept of 'learning capability' to integrate several frameworks regarding the changing nature of industrial organization and international competition. In doing so, we emphasize the primacy of learning and learning capability in the post-Fordist world of international competition, with a focus on analyzing Fordist and post-Fordist forms of learning at various levels and their differing impact on the learning capability o…

Institutional issues in transport systems
The Federal Urban Policy Agenda
After reviewing changes in housing policy and the impact of U.S. metropolitan decentralization on jobs and the demand for transportation, the authors examine the role of the new high-technology economy in urbanization. Specifically, they suggest that the patterns of public and private metropolitan infrastructure investments continue to support decentralized expansion. Using the Washington, D.C., region as an example, they explore the increased se…
Territorial cognition
The empirical validity of Altman's typology of human territories was assessed using a modified Kelly Rep Grid procedure. Urban and suburban subjects, matched on several variables, were interviewed in their homes. It was expected that suburban subjects, as compared to urban subjects, would perceive more control over secondary and public territories. Results confirmed the validity of Altman's typology and the importance of the dimensions of central…
Non-market Entrepreneurship
As defined by the editors of this book, ‘non-market entrepreneurship’ consists of all forms of entrepreneurship not being undertaken solely for purposes of profit maximization or commercialization, and encompasses entrepreneurial activities such as social enterprise and entrepreneurship, public sector entrepreneurship, policy entrepreneurship, non-profit entrepreneurship, and philanthropic enterprise, among many others. The eminent cast of contri…
