Title: The Emilian Model; institutional challenges
Description: Discussion of model of a successful industrial district, its institutional underpinning, and how this is changing. Examines the capacity of the Enterprise Support System for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMES) to adjust to new pressures and opportunities, with a greater stress on innovation and learning. The evidence suggests that firms and business groups are capable of strategically changing their trajectories to meet changing conditions. But policy actors seems slower to appreciate this new context. Some radical innovation occurring on the margins of the well-established business/policy networks. Concludes by contrasting an information-rich region (following an established trajectory) and an intelligence-rich region (able to shift trajectory)
