learning regions  

Definición

  • The concept of learning regions reflects the rapid economic development in places such as the “Third Italy” (that country's high-technology zone centered on Emilia-Romagna), which drew attention to the importance of cooperation between small- and medium-sized establishments (SMEs) in industrial districts and between firms and local authorities at the regional level in achieving international competitiveness. Theoretically, the idea reflects the view of post-Fordist societies as learning economies, where innovation is seen as a socially and territorially embedded, interactive learning process that cannot be understood independently of its institutional and cultural contexts.
