Regional innovation potential in Southeast Asia - empirical evidence from a ‘new’ economic geography perspective. This paper presents the methodological approach and some basic empirical evidence of a research project measuring and comparing regional innovation potential in Singapore, Penang (Malaysia), and Bangkok. This project is conceptually situated in the context of a ‘new’ economic geography that integrates contributions from geographical economics and the economics of knowledge, learning and innovation into an established regional science framework. It is suggested that future research into the geography of innovation and knowledge-based regional development should not only focus on the relationship between various spatial scales, but also explore multi-dimensional concepts of territorial and non-territorial space.

This chapter aims to present a conceptual model aimed to understand the Intellectual Capital-based (IC) characteristics of the regional innovation capacity. The proposed Regional Innovation Capacity Model (RICM) can be used for interpretative and normative purposes to analyse the innovation dynamics taking place at regional and territorial level. From an interpretative point of view, the model identifies the pillars grounding the innovation capacity of a local system. While, from a normative perspective, the model can inspire the definition of guidelines driving the design and the implementation of actions, projects and programmes aimed to stimulate and sustain regional development dynamics. The RICM adopts a knowledge-based perspective assuming that IC, in the forms of regional knowledge assets, and knowledge dynamics, in the form of knowledge transfer and learning processes, are the drivers of innovative processes and outputs. The chapter concludes proposing a future research agenda.

Knowledge economy, organisational change and knowledge-based regional development - challenges for economic geography. The paper views the emerging knowledge based economy as an important future research topic for economic geography. Significant changes in the innovation process are characteristics of the increasing global integration of economic activities. The emerging knowledge economy is reflected in the shift from scientifically and technologically based innovation processes to new forms of knowledge creation, which are dominated to a lesser degree by technology. The growing importance of service and organizational innovations in innovation systems of advanced economies is combined with wider diversity of knowledge requirements, which include not only technological know-how but also the integration of economic, organizational, and sociocultural knowledge and competences. The aim of the paper is to indicate the complexity of these processes of change and to show that understanding the territorial dimension of the emerging knowledge economy involves major theoretical, empirical and methodological challenges for economic geography.

AbstractThe paper evaluates the New Economic Geography in the tradition of Paul Krugman and the new (regional) growth literature of Paul Romer and others of the last decade and discusses its importance for knowledge-based regional development as well as consequences for Economic Geography. Model specifications are presented and the implication for regional, i.e. subnational, growth are discussed. Although several of the new insights developed in these theories are not that new for economic geographers with basic skills in non-neoclassical economics, it is argued that regional development as a whole can profit from the current geographical turn in economics, of which the theories reviewed here are an indicator.

Geographical Clustering

Issues of regional innovation and learning have attracted growing interest from economic geographers and related specialists in recent years. The advantages to be gained from localised networks and learning are claimed to be particularly important for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in helping offset the size-related advantages of larger firms. Such claims are part of a wider rediscovery of the benefits of clustering and agglomeration in economic geography. Yet, to date, theoretical speculation about the renewed importance of geographical clustering for SMEs has run ahead of detailed empirical research. Beyond a few well-known case studies of high-technology clusters, there have been few attempts systematically to ‘test’ assertions made about the links between innovation, collaboration, and learning. The authors' purpose in this paper is to contribute new empirical evidence to this debate through a case study of SMEs in the Aberdeen oil complex. Although they find some evidence to support the role of localised forms of collaboration among the most innovative SMEs, the authors' results also indicate the importance of extralocal networks of knowledge transfer and the unequal power relations that underpin interfirm relations. These findings reinforce recent calls for a shift of focus from ‘regions’ to ‘networks’, raising some fundamental questions about the substantive basis of clusters policy.

Knowledge and the capability to create and utilize knowledge today are consid- ered to be the most important sources of a firm’s sustainable competitive advantage. This paper aims to advance understanding of the knowledge creation of firm in Vietnam by studying Alphanam Company. The case illustrates how knowledge- based management pursues a vision for the future based on ideals that consider the relationships of people in society. The finding shows that the case succeeded because of their flexibility and mobility to keep meeting to the changing needs of the customers or stakeholders. The paper also provided some suggestions for future research to examine knowledge-based management of the companies in a different industry segments and companies originating in other countries
