The Local Innovation System as a Source of 'Variety': Openness and Adaptability in New York City's Garment District

Rantisi, Norma M.·2002·Regional Studies

Abstract

Employing an evolutionary economics framework, this paper investigates the innovation process in the New York City Garment District's women's wear industry. It analyses the ways in which Garment District designers have been able to exploit innovative ideas from an emerging design cluster on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, and the role that the District's institutional infrastructure plays in facilitating this process. The paper argues that the variety as well as the economic coherence provided by the District's design innovation system underlies its ability to adapt to shifting competitive pressures. A partir de la théorie économique évolutionniste, cet article cherche à étudier le processus d'innovation dans le vêtement féminin à New York. On analyse les façons dont les modélistes ont pu exploiter des idées novatrices qui proviennent d'un groupe de modélistes naissant situé à Manhattan dans le Lower East Side, et le rôle que joue l'infrastructure institutionnelle du district pour faciliter ce processus. L'article affirme que la variété ainsi que la cohérence économique que fournit le système d'innovation conception sous-tend sa capacité de s'adapter aux forces compétitives changeantes. Dieser Aufsatz untersucht den Innovationsprozess in New Yorks Distrikt der Damenbekleidungsindustrie im Rahmen der evolutionären Wirtschaftswissenschaft. Es werden Wege analysiert, die es Entwürfen für den Bekleidungsindutriedistrikt gestatten, innovative Ideen einer im Aufsteigen begriffenen, in der Lower East Side von Manhattan ansässigen Entwerfergruppe zu übernehmen, und damit die Rolle, die die institutionelle Infrastruktur des Distrikts bei der Durchführung dieses Vorgangs spielt. Der Aufsatz vertritt den Standpunkt, daß der Anpassungsfähigkeit sowohl Vielfalt als auch das vom Distrikt beigesteuerte System der Entwurfsinnovation zu Grunde liegt.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
