Factories in Danish Fields: How High-Wage, Flexible Production has Succeeded in Peripheral Jutland

Abstract

This article examines the nature and significance of industrial development in peripheral Jutland, largely on the basis of survey data obtained from small and medium-sized establishments in the region. The results indicate considerable reliance on flexible production practices, inter-firm networking, and industry-specific localization economies. Despite arguments that these phenomena are likely to entail greater spatial concentrations and favor large agglomerations, peripheral Jutland has retained its essentially rural and small town character without loss of competitiveness nationally or internationally. An entrepreneurial culture has played an important role in this regard.
