Cluster Renewal in Old Industrial Regions – Continuity or Radical Change?
نویسندگان
چکیده
The purpose of this paper is to explore conceptually the role of clusters for the economic recovery of old industrial regions. We will identify three types of clusterbased renewal, distinguishing between an innovation-oriented adjustment of mature clusters (incremental change), the emergence of new agglomerations in established industries (diversification) and the rise of knowledge intensive and high technology activities (radical change). It will be shown that each of these development scenarios for old industrial areas requires different firm strategies and presupposes varying degrees of changes in the region’s knowledge infrastructure, its relational assets and institutional fabric, and its policy environment.
