Reconsidering regional structural conditions for industrial renewal
从结构视角出发，借鉴组织制度主义中的“制度基础设施”概念，强调区域结构条件的精细度和一致性对产业更新潜力的影响，并以奥地利和瑞典传统汽车区域为例进行实证分析。
This article develops a more comprehensive understanding of innovation-based renewal of industries from a structural perspective. Arguably, established perspectives offer rather simplistic views, portraying structures as either enabling or constraining for certain forms of regional industrial change. Inspired by work in organizational institutionalism on ‘institutional infrastructures’, this article focuses on the degree of elaboration and coherence as decisive features of regional structural conditions. Arguably, this conceptual lens allows for a better understanding of the potentials and limitations for industrial change entailed in different structural configurations. Empirically, we investigate renewal processes in traditional automotive regions in Austria and Sweden.
