Regional Innovation System Barriers and the Rise of Boundary-Crossing Institutions

Abstract

Accounting data in Dunning (2000) show that we have entered a new phase of global economic development in which ‘ Knowledge Economies’ are the most significant centres of growth and dynamism (Cooke 2002a). It was easier to argue this in the years leading up to the ending of the ICT ‘bubble’ early in 2001 and many unethical sources for the inflating of that bubble have since been identified (Cassidy 2002; Fusaro and Miller 2002). Nevertheless, paradigmatic change transcends stock market booms and slumps, and the industries that underpin the Knowledge Economy are not limited to dot.com businesses. Far from it, the Knowledge Economy includes some traditional as well as high-technology engineering industry, and some rather traditional public service industries like healthcare and education as well as R&D and media. Knowledge-economy sectors such as those identified by OECD (1999) and modified slightly in EU (2002) and Cooke and De Laurentis (2002) show it is knowledge-intensive services that play the most significant role in the designation of knowledge economies. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
