Rebuilding a Cluster While Protecting Knowledge within Low-Medium-Tech Supplier SMEs: A Spanish and French Comparison

“…In Provence, the social tissue is less cohesive for historical reasons that are both regional and national [186,187]. The SMEs are facing with not very dense social relations leading to a type of anonymity due to the fragmented history of the Provence Region, which demonstrates significant stratification and social and geographical discontinuities.…”

Regional Innovation Dilemmatic Policy-Making:between Misconceptions and Missing Conceptions

“…An important operational axis of the whole innovation policy should lie on the organizational capacities of the networks of relationships that can become a crucial determinant of the entire institutional architecture of the regional innovation system. It should be an important aim to involve micro and SMEs as much as possible on all the ongoing, evolving process, to make sure that their long-term needs are duly taken into consideration (Landabaso, 2011;Camagni et al, 2013;Torre, 2018). Anyway, SMEs usually face particular problems that hamper their effective participation in the innovative dynamics, such as a difficult access to information, lack of qualified labour force, financial and administrative constraints, etc.…”

“…Emphasizing localized learning and the existence of untraded interdependencies is simply not enough for understanding the scale at which regional innovation systems can be deemed to function or to be studied or reconfigured. In this context, regional innovation approaches need to be enriched by a theory of change, that, as pointed out by Torre (2018), allows for an in-depth analysis of the "black box of fabrication of territorial innovation".…”

“…That is why, arguably, the promotion of territorially embedded innovation policies seems a critical strategy to face contemporary regional development challenges, as long-term regional competitiveness and sustainability have less to do with cost-efficiency and more to do with the capability of companies and institutions to innovate, improving their knowledge base. In this context, regions became protagonists of their own development paths, thus abandoning the implicit constraints of the centre-periphery approach (Camagni et al, 2013;Coenen et al, 2016;Torre, 2018).…”

El desarrollo local como resultado de un proceso de innovación social en Saint-Camille (Quebec) y Aras de los Olmos (Valencia)

“…Su enunciación es compleja, por cuanto para definir un proceso o iniciativa como innovadora desde el punto de vista social, esta debe cumplir una serie de características, y es sobre ellas sobre las que existen ciertas discrepancias entre los científicos sociales. Sin entrar en la controversia, se opta aquí claramente por una concepción de la innovación social con una orientación territorial (Moulaert, MacCallum, y Hillier, 2013;Torre, 2018), es decir, como los nuevos acuerdos o configuraciones sociales, organizativos o institucionales establecidos para modificar las relaciones sociales, para transformar un marco de acción o para proponer nuevas orientaciones culturales en un territorio (Klein, Fontan, Harrisson y Lévesque, 2009;Moulaert, Martinelli, González y Swyngedouw, 2007;Klein y Harrisson, 2007;. Murray, Caulier-Grice y Mulgan (2010) también continúan con la definición de innovación social en su Open Book of Social Innovation publicado por la Young Foundation, vinculando ésta al conjunto de nuevas ideas (productos, servicios y modelos) que satisfacen las necesidades sociales y crean, al mismo tiempo, nuevas relaciones sociales y redes de colaboración.…”
