“…According to Foray (2014), regional industrial development begins with an entrepreneurial discovery, which is the first step in the development and reorganization of the regional economy (Deegan et al, 2022). Their industrial structure separates RISs into specialized and diversified ones.…”

Regions play an important role in the global economy by driving research and innovation policies through a major tool, the Regional Innovation System (RIS). The RIS is a social system that encompasses the systematic interaction of the various organizations that comprise it, to improve local knowledge and innovation. It consists of interconnections of various public and private sector institutions, whose activities and interactions create, introduce and diffuse innovations. This paper outlines the methodology employed in developing and validating a mathematical model of Regional Innovation Systems, utilizing the system dynamics approach. To provide a demonstration of the aforementioned concept, the proposed model will then be implemented in the RIS of two specific regions in Greece, namely Western and Central Macedonia. Within this context, various policies will be formulated to modify the indicators of Smart Technology, with the objective of assessing their influence on the overall regional development of the aforementioned regions. The model focuses on the functional structure of the RIS, separating it in six diverse, interacting subsystems consisting of different components, captured by a total of 38 different factors which can be quantitatively assessed.

“…The region is the main agglomeration of the petroleum industry in Norway. Since the late 1960s, a specialisation in offshore petroleum activity has developed through supportive national and regional policy and an interplay between oil firms, suppliers, R&D institutes and universities (Deegan et al, 2022). The specialisation in the petroleum sector represents an opportunity for diversification into new green industrial activities as this can build on the skills and technologies accumulated over 50 years of petroleum activity.…”

“…4 Unlocking: Despite CORIS initiatives such as new cluster projects, key formal and informal institutions need to be unlocked. A dominant narrative among industrial actors in Stavanger is that the petroleum sector will continue to dominate for a long time ahead, albeit with updated technology that results in a greener industry (Deegan et al, 2022). The narrative plays a part in hindering new industry development, in addition to financial organisations prioritising safe investment in the dominant industry where they '.…”

The unpredictable impacts of sudden shocks such as the current COVID-19 pandemic or the current energy crisis accelerated by the Russia-Ukraine war have led to a renewed interest in regional economic resilience. Much of the literature focuses attention on how regional economies and industries could bounce back, that is, how they could return to their pre-shock conditions. Other scholars have proposed to construe resilience as bouncing forward to capture the mechanisms and processes that underpin positive adaptation and structural change in response to an acute crisis. In this article, we argue that both conceptualisations do not consider shocks and crises as a window of opportunity for regional economies to transform into a radically different and more desirable trajectory. We bring a new perspective into play, that is, transformative resilience which places shifts towards more sustainable pathways centre stage. This understanding of regional economic resilience acknowledges that a crisis may bring about permanent structural change and considers to what extent these transformations are to the benefit of society and the environment. This article seeks to identify in a conceptual way what factors and dynamics are vital for enhancing the transformative resilience of regions. To this end, we draw on recent insights from the debate on challenge-oriented regional innovation systems and elaborate on the role of pre-shock conditions and various core processes in building up regional transformative resilience.

“…Institutions are human-designed limitations that shape political, economic, and social interactions. They include both informal limitations (enforcement guarantees, prohibitions, customs, traditions, and behavioral etiquette) and formal laws (constitutions, civil laws, and ownership laws) (Deegan et al, 2021;Garzik, 2022;North, 1991).…”

The rich diversity of Persian carpets is a symbol of different cultures and traditions in this country. To ensure sustainability of the Handmade Carpet Industry Knowledge and Innovation System (HCIKIS), attention should be paid to the transformative approach that pursues holistic transformation in the production and consumption systems. The present study aimed to identify Formal Transformation Institutions (FTIs), classify them into main categories, and analyze them based on the production step, approval date, institution type, and geographical area of approval. Based on the results, there were 316 Formal Institutions (FIs) in the Handmade Carpet Industry (HCI). By open coding, 372 concepts were extracted from 509 concepts derived from different FTIs. Based on the axial coding, the FIs were divided into six initial categories of "carpet authority", "carpet sales and maintenance inside Iran", "handmade carpet exports and imports", "carpet production infrastructure", "handmade carpet production", and "sanitary-therapeutic category". At the next step, the matrix of the main categories based on different production steps was drawn. Among the main categories, the highest frequency was related to the category of "carpet production infrastructure" and the subcategory of "financial supply of carpet". Although there are many FIs that support production, carpet weavers, as the main people involved in production, have received minimum supports during their working years due to unawareness of supports and loan conditions.
