Description:
The learning region has become an important concept among scholars, managers and policymakers. Companies are more and more stimulated by and dependent on the unevenly distributed localized capabilities that enhance learning and innovation. Learning regions are a contemporary consequence of the way companies react to the global opening of markets.
Expand description
The aim of this book is to investigate the regional linkages between learning and competitiveness using the North-European Oresund Region as an illustrative case. In the year 2000, the 16 kilometre long bridge and tunnel will be completed between the cities of Copenhagen in Denmark and Malmo in Sweden, significantly improving the accessibility within an area of thousands of companies and a concentration of research facilities, technological and commercial expertise and educational institutions unsurpassed in Northern Europe.
