A People-centred Approach to Economic Development (PCED): Brokering Economic Inclusion as a Route Way to Improving Competitiveness

Abstract

This paper outlines support for adopting a people-centred approach to economic development that has been taken forward in West Yorkshire-an approach that recognises that prosperity in a global economy is driven by ideas, information and knowledge. This is very different to the industrial economy of the past. It presents both a model for an integrated workforce development system and a framework for improving linkages between human capital and economic development. Indeed, it is understood that it is those local areas with a strong, adequately skilled, human capital base that are best placed to utilise knowledge and to transfer this know-how into cutting-edge techniques for the production of goods and services. As such, investment in people's knowledge and skills is a crucial aspect of achieving sustained economic growth in a networked, knowledge-driven, global economy.

Knowledge-intensive services and local development: An empirical analysis of networks, channels and customization processes

“…Existing literature on KIBS firms (Crawford- Lee and Hunter, 2009;Salder, 2013;Sa´nchez-Moral et al, 2015;Varis et al, 2014) has highlighted their capacity to favor the development of synergies among local firms and boost local development through knowledge exchange processes and client-producer interaction. However, little is known about the conditions (both internal and external to KIBS firms) that may hinder such processes and hence hamper the establishment of collaborative relationships between KIBS firms and the locality wherein they operate.…”
