“…Regarding the network literature, the contribution would consist of researching the flows of external knowledge that come from multinational corporations established in the cluster, and the collaboration between native clustered firms and foreign firms. These issues have already been addressed for the same cluster (Hervás-Oliver and Boix-Domenech 2013).…”

“…Both IDs form a network of clusters, channeling information back and forth through their multinational companies in their respective industries co-located in both IDs (Meyer-Stamer et al, 2004;Hervas-Oliver and Boix, 2013) and making the best world-leader inter-cluster connection for ceramic tile innovation.…”

“…The focal process is radical innovation in MIDs, as above defined, and the setting is the Castellon 2 ceramic tile (Spain) industrial district and its firms. Apart from that, we also studied the Sassuolo MID (Italy), due to the fact that both MIDs are intertwined and most innovation in both places has occurred due to their interconnections (see Hervas-Oliver and Boix, 2013). Those settings are chosen because both IDs underwent a process of radical innovation very recently with different outcomes.…”

Radical innovation in Marshallian industrial districts

et al. 2017

Radical innovation is under-researched in the geography of innovation strand and, it is very noticeably missing in that of industrial districts. In this paper, the focus is on understanding how radical innovations occur in Marshallian industrial districts (MIDs), a phenomenon mostly overlooked by scholars. This study theorizes upon industrial districts as a distinct socio-economic innovation system mostly based on incremental innovation and challenges this assumption. Using exploratory and in-depth longitudinal case study methodology in two European MIDs, covering from 1998-to-2015, this paper analyzes radical innovation in MIDs and finds that the introduction of technology-distant knowledge (to the MID) and the entrance of new firms from different (to the focal) industries are both necessary mechanisms but not sufficient for radical innovation to occur. Access to leading incumbents' networks, based on social norms, becomes a crucial social factor necessary for radical innovation to occur in MIDs.

“…These three concepts only differ slightly from each other (Henderson et al ., ). This kind of research studied global chains and networks built among firms, as well as industries, in various places around the world (Hess and Coe, ; Sturgeon et al ., ; Yeung, ; Hervas‐Oliver and Boix‐Domenech, ; Yeung and Coe, ). Although GVC, GCC, and GPN help us understand firms and industries from a global viewpoint, they set geography as a background rather than the research core. Trade fairs are “temporary business gatherings of individuals and enterprises with products, samples and solutions on display” (Li, , p. 997).…”
