Knowledge, learning, and regional development

Knowledge and learning are widely recognised as major sources of economic development for firms and regions. In an environment that is increasingly shaped by volatile global processes, it has become essential for economic success to continuously generate, access and use information and knowledge. Despite the significance of these resources, their spatial context is not yet fully understood. This volume provides a set of empirical case studies which shed new light on the complex interaction between the regional and global scale of knowledge and learning.
