Innovation Governance in an Open Economy: Shaping Regional Nodes in a Globalized World (Regions and Cities)

by Annika Rickne (Editor), Annika Rickne (Editor), Henry Etzkowitz (Series Editor), Staffan Laestadius (Series Editor)

Synopsis

In an increasingly globalised world, paradoxically regional innovation clusters have moved to the forefront of attention as a strategy for economic and social development. Transcending international success cases, like Silicon Valley and Route 128, as sources of lessons, successful high tech clusters in niche areas have had a significant impact on peripheral regions. Are these successful innovation clusters born or made? If they are subject to planning and direction, what is the shape that it takes: top down, bottom up or lateral?
