Stuart Rosenfeld (2001): Creating Smart Systems: A guide to cluster strategies in less favoured regions; European Union-Regional Innovation Strategies.
This publication focuses instead on cluster-based actions that are appropriate to less advantaged regions. It provides a menu of actions appropriate to clusters in less favoured regions that have been used successfully to improve cluster competitiveness.
This publication focuses instead on cluster-based actions that are appropriate to less advantaged regions. It provides a menu of actions appropriate to clusters in less favoured regions that have been used successfully to improve cluster competitiveness.
The author assumes there are three basic categories of less advantaged regions. The first is the older industrialised region dominated by labour intensive industries that have lost cost advantage to newly industrialised nations. The second is the semi-industrialised region that had many small craft industries that operate with very low levels of technology. The last is the peripheral or less populated region that has been dependent on resource- based industries but which must, with rising productivity and out-migration of youth reducing employment, find new clusters with growth opportunities.
