“…Recent analysis of technological development in space focuses on the dynamic capabilities of economic agents in different places to generate and sustain a creative milieu that undergirds competitive advantage (Aydalot 1988;Camagni 1991 ;Malmberg 1996;Scott andStorper 1987, 1992;Todtling 1992). These innovative regions are characterized by strong ties between regional actors embedded in institutional structures that reinforce common sets of rules, norms, business cultures, and decision routines (Brusco 1982;Granovetter 1985;Stohr 1986;Maillat 1991 ;Storper 1992Storper , 1994Grabher 1993).…”

Techniques of production were measured for 7 8 manufacturing industries across 6 regions of Canada between 196 1 and 1988. In any given year, production technology, measured by a pair of capital and labour input coefficients, varies markedly over space. The relative positions of regions in a two-dimensional technologyspace appears consistent across industries. With industry-mix effects removed, multivariate analysis of variance confirms that regional differences in production techniques are significant. Further investigation reveals that spatial variations in techniques ofproduction persist over time. These findings support the claims of evolutionary theorists, demonstrating that in Canadian manufacturing industries regions tend to move along distinct trajectories of technological change.

“…Perhaps one of the first perspectives of the innovation process at the aggregate regional level was that put forward by Aydalot and Keeble (1988) and later by Camagni (1991). In this approach, the authors refer to the importance of formal innovation networks as representing, market-mediated territorial relationships, while network relations of a mainly tacit and informal nature are taken as innovative milieu relationships.…”

Since the late 1990s in Portugal, regional policy makers have become increasingly interested in using the concept of regional innovation systems as a useful framework for analysing how the local technological infrastructure can become more effective in helping local diffusion of relevant internationally available technologies. Based on the experience of Lisbon and Tagus Valley, this paper proposes conceptual insights and methodologies on which to surmount policy analysis and formulation for regional development through innovation. It proposes to separate stylised functions of an innovation system from its component-organisations. Also, using the case of Lisbon and Tagus Valley, it examines how business enterprises make use of the available system functions and proposes to segment support needs based on levels of enterprise technological capability.

“…In this case, industrial technological background (and particularly local expertise and know-how) represents the basis for optimal adaptability to the market (Loinger and Peyrache, 1988). Moreover, while certain regions have been able to innovate giving priority to knowledge transmission based on the exchange of brainpower or the direct exchange of process technology, it should be remembered that there is also the classic form of exchanging technical know-how as the direct product of normal inter-enterprise market relations (Aydalot, 1988) or of socialization (Becattini et al, 1992).…”

ABSTRACT. An industrial district is a group of firms housed in a limited geographic area and specialized in one or more stages of a given production cycle. The concentration of firms in a limited area characterizes unique environmental problems in conjunction with local communities that need to be carefully assessed. This paper presents an assessment of the environmental impact of industrial districts that is carried out using an input-output accounting model in connection to relevant materials and energy flows within an industrial district. Resources used, wastes produced and energy consumed in the system of concern are quantified by the input-output accounting model to provide invaluable information for both private and public managers leading to meet the sustainable development goals in local communities. Also, information for screening the technologies in conjunction with recycling, re-use, and recovery strategies can be drawn. Two case examples, related to the Italian industrial districts of Sassuolo and Matera, in North and South Italy, have been analyzed using such input-output accounting model as a tool.
