The Effects of Spatial Proximity on Inter-organisational Relationships
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper is concerned with the effects of space on interorganisational relationships. Much of the economic geography literature has been concerned with studying spatial agglomerations (e.g. industrial districts, clusters) whilst neglecting to characterise in detail the types of relationships that make up such agglomerations. By contrast, research in interorganisational relationships has stressed functional links in industrial networks but has neglected the role of space in fostering particular forms of relationships. This paper capitalises on the notion of territories as nexus of relationships, to propose an agenda for research into the role of spatial proximity in understanding industrial systems. Our proposal is to see spatial agglomerations such as industrial districts or clusters as spaces where firms are both territorially and functionally embedded (Dicken and Malmberg, 2001).

This paper considers an implication of the idea that proposals for integrated care for older people should start from a focus on the patient, consider co-production solutions to the problems of care fragmentation, and be at a system-wide, cross-organisational level. It follows that the analysis, design and therefore evaluation of integrated care projects should be based upon the journeys which ...
