A Handbook Of Industrial Districts

Si segnala l'uscita del volume "A Handbook Of Industrial Districts", Edited by Giacomo Becattini, Emeritus Professor of Political Economy, Marco Bellandi, Professor of Applied Economics, University of Florence, Italy and Lisa De Propris, Senior Lecturer, Birmingham Business School, University of Birmingham, UK, 2009, 904
In this comprehensive new original reference work, the editors have brought together an unrivalled group of distinguished scholars and practitioners to comment on the historical and contemporary role of industrial districts. The Handbook includes conceptual, critical and forward-looking contributions, as well as case studies from Asia, Latin America, Europe and the US. It will be an invaluable resource for anyone interested in industrial districts, local production systems and innovation, local drivers of competitiveness and related public policies. The work is uniquely positioned to shed light on the role of global and local forces and how they increasingly interact to shape the welfare of societies, and the economic performance of firms and places.
