“…All these concepts have a territorial criterion: industrial districts identify their district members through a sense of belonging, whereas the cluster approach does not have a strictly defined geographic scope. Therefore, the main focus of and success factor for an industrial district is the community of people, whereas the cluster framework focuses on firms, and the only social issue is the success of the associated companies (Ortega-Colomer et al 2016). The territories of RISs are not limited to certain areas, but are rather integrated into other national and international systems involving more stakeholders.…”

“…As a result of this diversity of concepts, we can view clusters as umbrella institutions combining different models of co-operation between companies and institutions to establish a single approach promoting innovation and regional development (Porter 1998, Isaksen-Hauge 2002, Ortega-Colomer et al 2016.…”

The relationship between Industrial Districts (IDs) and immigration has been studied so far through cases of ethnic economies developed within IDs by immigrant entrepreneurs. In this study we argue that there is a more general and complex interaction between the two phenomena that can give rise to the development of ethnic economies, either to the emergence of migratory enclaves (concentration of people migrated with the same nationality) depending on the degree of formality of the ID and local conditions of immigrant groups. Through the case study of ID ceramic Castellón we suggest that the interaction between the formal job offer characteristic of the ceramic sector and the existence of a support network initiated by the Adventist church, allowed the population of Romanian origin to have initial conditions comparatively favorable in relation to other immigrant groups, representing 12% of the total population of the province in 2012. Design / Methodology: This is a descriptive and exploratory work based on the participant observation carried out between the months of February to July 2016. The activities of the ethnographic observation have been complemented by statistical documentation and interviews open to representatives of Churches, associations charities, local authorities, the Romanian consulate in Castellón, companies targeting the Romanian population (mobile telephony and transport services), businessmen and experts in the ceramic sector of Castellón. Contributions and Results: Taking as an example the ceramic ID of Castellón, we show how this ID contributes to the creation of the conditions that favor an exceptional Romanian migratory enclave, both due to its demographic importance and the absence of conflict or significant tensions. We propose that the formal employment offer of the ID, although minority in relation to the total employment typically occupied by emigrants, had a positive effect on the decisions of sedentarization of this population. Originality / Value: This is a study that combines different disciplines such as economics and anthropology to offer a far-known vision of the effects of ceramic ID in immigration. Finally, a preliminary general model of interaction between ID and immigration is proposed.

“…Therefore, the traditional idea that identifies logistics as an internal function of companies is superseded by a broader, but also more complex, concept, which defines logistics as a technical and organisational infrastructure that manages the physical and informational connections of the plurality of companies that participate in the SC (Closs et al, 1996;Ralston et al, 2015). This becomes even more important in view of the production models of the industrial district, geographical areas where there are concentrated companies that produce the same type of product, strongly linked to the territory and its history (Albino et al, 2007;Ortega-Colomer et al, 2016). A new phenomenon has emerged in recent years: pressure from stakeholders, shareholders, consumers and not-for-profit organisations to integrate sustainability into SC (Seuring and Müller, 2008;Beske and Seuring, 2014).…”

Purpose -The purpose of this paper is to analyse the production cycle of glazed porcelain stoneware, from the extraction of raw materials to the packaging of the finished product, with the aim of verifying the effects of integrating an environmental impact assessment into the decision-making process for managing the life cycle, to make it economically and ecologically sustainable, in a holistic approach along the supply-chain.Design/methodology/approach -The research is performed using the life cycle assessment and life cycle costing methodologies, to identify environmental impacts and costs, that occur during extraction of raw materials, transportation, ceramic tiles production, material handling, distribution and end-of-life stages within a cradle to grave perspective.Findings -Through the use of a comprehensive analysis of the environmental impact assessment and related externalities, three possible strategic options to improve the environmental performance and costs of ceramic tile production were formulated, leveraging sustainability as a competitive advantage.
