Industry evolution, resilience and regional embeddedness: the case of the Danish microbrewing industry
研究了丹麦微型酿酒业在产能过剩和疫情冲击下，企业如何通过区域嵌入性作为生存策略，以及业主热情如何改变纯经济理性。
Excess capacity and increased competition in the Danish microbrewing industry have created a burgeoning shakeout, which has been accelerated by the Covid-19 crisis. We discuss which types of firms are likely to survive this, specifically, to what extent such firms use regional embeddedness as a survival strategy. Using three different types of data, we demonstrate that firms’ regional and local embeddedness is widely used to shelter them from competition pressures. Moreover, the passion among owners and investors for the sector (and its products) alters the purely economic rationality that generally, according to theoretical predictions, determines whether firms survive industry shakeout.
