Constructing knowledge-based regional advantage : Implications for regional innovation policy
- 2007

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- A focus on constructing regional advantage requires an 'unpacking' of what makes territorial agglomerations important for innovation and competitiveness by disclosing and revealing the contingencies, particularities and specificities of the various contexts and environments where knowledge creation, innovation and entrepreneurship take place. In order to achieve more effective regional innovation policy, this paper presents and discusses three dimensions along which such unpacking can take place. These dimensions refer to (1) specific industrial knowledge bases, (2) globally distributed knowledge networks and (3) different territorial competence bases.

Face-to-Face, Buzz and Knowledge Bases: Socio-spatial implications for learning and innovation policy
- 2005
-
Annan publikation (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- While concurring with the new streams of literature in geography that highlight the importance of face-to-face and buzz in the globalizing learning economy, the article argues that this literature is misleading on three interrelated accounts. Firstly, it conflates face-to-face and buzz; secondly, it fails to distinguish between the importance of face-to-face and buzz for industries drawing on different knowledge bases, and thirdly, these conceptual inadequacies lead to an exaggeration of the importance of cities as sites for creativity and innovation, and hence regional competitiveness. BY applying an industrial knowledge base approach the article seeks to reconstruct an alternative framework that allows for a systematic differentiation between the importance of both face-to-face and buzz for different industries. This provides a framework for developing a more nuanced understanding of the spatial implications of face-to face communication and buzz for learning and innovation.

Regional Innovation System Policy: a Knowledge-based Approach
- 2005
-
Annan publikation (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- A focus on constructing regional advantage requires an unpacking of what makes territorial agglomerations important for innovation and growth by disclosing and revealing the contingencies, particularities and specificities of the various contexts and environments where knowledge creation, innovation and entrepreneurship take place. In order to achieve more effective regional innovation policy, the paper presents and discusses five dimensions along which such unpacking can take place. These dimensions refer to different perspectives that originate in different industrial knowledge bases, different territorial competence bases, the distributed knowledge base, the importance of creative knowledge environments and different institutional frameworks.

Regional innovation systems in Asian countries: A new way of exploiting the benefits of transnational corporations
- 2006
-
Ingår i: Innovation: Management, Policy & Practice. - 1447-9338. ; 8:1-2, s. 27-44
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper argues for the importance of using the regional innovation systems (RIS) approach as both an analytical framework and a policy tool for generating economic development in developing countries. The paper reconceptualizes the RIS-model to the context of developing countries. RIS is normally based on endogenous growth models; however, in this paper we extend it to rely on external capital, transnational knowledge sources and transnational corporations (TNCs). In particular we stress - the importance of developing firm and regional absorptive capacity; the importance of embedding TNCs in the region; and regional policies for attaining these goals. These factors, we argue, are important for achieving sustainable economic development, building on exogenous sources of capital and knowledge. Finally, we illustrate the relevance of RIS for analyzing as well as formulating regional development policies by referring to two of Asia's most significant cases: Shanghai's (China) and Bangalore's (India) regional innovation systems.

Industrial organization and the spatial organization of industries
- 2006
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The dissertation aims at making a contribution to the field of industrial organization/dynamics, spatial organization of industries and regional policy. This has been done by paying more attention to the strategies of the firm and to the link between the firms, the industry as well as the region and the implications for regional policy. More specifically, the dissertation makes a contribution to economic geography by reassessing the importance of traded and untraded externalities and by deriving new regional policy conclusions. It has attempted to challenge existing theories, bring together theories from different disciplines and scale (from micro- to macro-level) to explain these phenomena and elaborate on the theories potentials and limitations in explaining externalities. The dissertation is based on a collection of papers which combines theoretical insights with in-depth or illustrative cases.

Regions, absorptive capacity and strategic coupling with hightech TNCs: Lessons from India and China
- 2006
-
Ingår i: Science, Technology and Society. - : SAGE Publications. - 0971-7218 .- 0973-0796. ; 11:1, s. 39-66
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article is concerned with what conditions successful development of high-tech regions in developing countries. It argues that the recent regional turn in development studies should be welcomed as regions play an increasingly important role for high-tech industries in developed and developing countries. While acknowledging the insights stemming from the regional turn the article nevertheless argues the need to extent the theoretical perspectives and to apply a regional innovation systems (RIS) approach. RIS has its strength in theoretically linking regions and high-tech industries. This article contextualises RIS to the situations characterising developing countries. Special attention is paid to how regions in developing countries can engage in a strategic coupling with high-tech TNCs. The importance of RIS as an analytical approach and tool for policy prescription is illustrated by two Asian high-tech cases, namely Bangalore's IT RIS in India and Shanghai's high-tech RIS in China.

The spatial organization of the news industry: Questioning assumptions about knowledge externalities for clustering of creative industries
- 2007
-
Ingår i: Innovation: Management, Policy & Practice. - 1447-9338. ; 9:1, s. 14-27
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The importance ascribed to knowledge externalities for understanding the spatial organization of industries (i.e. clustering) is increasingly being exposed to critical theoretical and empirical scrutiny. This research has not yet spilled over into studies of creative industries. This paper is concerned with reducing this omission by making an empirically based assessment of the importance of respectively knowledge internalities and externalities for the spatial organization of the news industry. The paper documents how the identified spatial organization can complement the existing literature on the importance of knowledge externalities for clustering of creative industries.
