Produktbeschreibung

This book focuses on the main challenges that cities, regions and other territories at sub-national level face when it comes to designing and implementing a territorial strategy for economic development and competitiveness. There is a widespread recognition that territories need to construct strategies that focus on shaping sustainable competitive advantages. They draw upon their own unique resources and capabilities alongside intelligence on existing technological and market trends to do this. However, there is still a notorious lack of both theoretical and empirical research on this issue.
