Regional “Worlds” of Production: Learning and Innovation in the Technology Districts of France, Italy and the USA

Storper, Michael·1993·Regional Studies

Abstract

STORPER M. (1993) Regional “World” of production: learning and innovation in the technology districts of France, Italy and the USA, Reg. Studies 27, 433–455. This paper investigates and compares the social relations and institutions at the regional level that underpin technologically dynamic, export-oriented production networks in France, Italy and the USA. Localized rules, institutions and practices are key both to their geographical concentration and their technological pertormance. A model of the conventions which co-ordinate economic actors' collective identities and their modes of interaction, or what is called “economic participation”, is built, showing that patterns of geographical concentration and specific forms of innovation are linked to the conventions which define economic identity and participation at the regional level. STORPER M. (1993) Des zones de production régionales: apprentissage et innovation dans les technopoles de la France, de l'Italie et des Etats-Unis, Reg. Studies 27, 433–455. Cet article cherche à étudier et à comparer sur le plan régional les rapports sociaux et les institutions en France, en Italie et aux Etats-Unis qui sous-tendent les réseaux de production à la fois technologiques et voués à l'exportation. Des éléments-clés de leur concentration géographique et de leur performance technologique sont les réglementations, les organismes et les pratiques locales. Un modéle des conventions qui coordonnent les identités collectives des acteurs économiques, et leurs modes d'in-teraction, autrement dit leur “participation économique”, se voit construit, démontrant que des les modes de concentration géographique et les formes particuliéres d'innovation remontent aux conventions qui determinent l'identité et la participation sur le plan régional. STORPER M. (1993) Regionale Welten der Produktion: Lernen und Innovation in den Technologiegebieten Frankreichs, Italiens und den USA, Reg. Studies 27, 433–455. Dieser Aufsatz untersucht und vergleicht die gesell-schaftlichen Beziehungen und Institutionen auf regionaler Ebene, auf die sich das technologisch-dynamische, Export orientierte Erzeugernetz in Frankreich, Italien und den USA stützt. Örtlich beschränkte Regeln, Institutionen und Gewohnheiten sind der Schlüssel zu ihrer geographischen Ballung wie auch zu ihrer technologischen Leistung. Es wird ein Modell der Konventionen erstellt, welche die kol-lektiven Identitäten und Art und Weise der gegenseitigen Beeinflussung, oder sogenannte “wirtschaftlichen Mit-bestimmung” koordiniert, und damit gezeigt, daß Muster geographischer Ballung sowie spezifische Formen der Innovation an Konventionen gebunden sind, welche wirt-schaftliche Identität und Mitbestimmung auf regionaler Ebene bestimmen.

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.
