- In this paper we analyse the innovative capacity of the most productive and most industrialised Italian regions by comparing them with a set of European regions that in the past two decades followed an industrial restructuring path towards knowledgebased sectors, doing so via the formation of a Regional Innovation System. Even though the European benchmarking regions now specialise in high-tech sectors and are characterised by high innovative activity, they share an industrial past based on heavy and traditional industries. In this respect, the two groups of regions are not so different in nature, and comparing them yields strategic insights for the Italian regional transformation process and suggests interesting local policy implications.Keywords: Knowledge economies, regional development, regional innovation systems.Parole chiave: economie della conoscenza, sviluppo regionale, sistemi regionali d'innovazioneJEL classification: R11, R58.

Regional Transformation

The purpose of this paper is, first, to highlight the role of the relationships between universities, institutions and firms in different regional development processes working towards a knowledge economy, and, second, to draw some implications for local policy makers. Adopting the regional innovation system (RIS) approach, the authors analyse selected regions – Cambridge (UK), Baden-Württemberg (Germany), Göteborg, (Sweden), Singapore, Milwaukee (USA) and Pittsburgh (USA) – which in the last two decades have undergone a process of economic and industrial renewal. From their analysis of the regional transformation process, they classify three different regional development paths defined respectively as ‘RIS-into’, ‘RIS-from’ and ‘RIS-through’ processes. Some common features emerge. In the process of regional development cooperation among universities, institutions and firms is essential. In particular, local universities play a crucial role in providing highly-educated people, research and spin-off activities. Thus universities are able to foster knowledge spillovers and interact constructively with firms. These interactions are nurtured and promoted by local policy makers.

Innovative Capacity

High-tech businesses are important in enhancing the innovative capacity of nation. Many countries use tax schemes as one of the government policy instruments to provide an environment conducive to the growth of high-tech companies. This paper analyzes the tax policies and R&D tax incentives to promote technology commercialization in Singapore and Thailand. The analysis is focused on the government dimension of Porter’s diamond model. The results reveal the government intervention model whereby the governments of both countries have pursued a developmental state role in fostering innovative entrepreneurship. The study offers insightful lessons linking tax policy to the perspective of science and technology (S&T) policy. The policy implications would be useful to other developing economies in shaping the direction of the national innovation system.

The article discusses the problems of involving the innovative potential of enterprises of the military-industrial complex in the implementation of innovative projects for the non-defence high-technology production, as well as determining the role and place of the regional innovation infrastructure in their implementation. The aim of the study is to justify the role of a region in the implementation of innovative projects for the non-defence high-technology production, to determine features and formulate requirements for the development of the regional innovation infrastructure that provides support for these innovative projects based on the interaction of the regional innovation system enterprises with the military-industrial complex and infrastructure facilities at the national and international levels. As a result of the study, the authors highlighted the most important areas of interaction between the enterprises of the military-industrial complex and the region’s innovative infrastructure facilities (raising funds, promoting high-tech civilian products to national and international markets, etc.) and formulated the requirements for its formation. The results of the study can be used in managing the innovative development of the regions where high-tech enterprises of the militaryindustrial complex are located

This paper presents a productive articulation model that serves as the basis for developing and enhancing regional innovation systems. The main objective is to generate a process of linkage between the industrial sector, academia, and government within which specific regional problems can be solved through the effective intervention of each of the actors. In addition to the process, a success story is presented from the State of Guanajuato, Mexico, which serves to visualize as a clear and defined process of articulation that allows a transfer of knowledge between the actors. Keywords: Productivity articulation model; regional Innovation system; triple helix. JEL Classification: L38, O18 Received: 30/06/2020. Accepted: 05/11/2020.  Published: 01/12/2020

This paper analyses a number of European regions which, in the last two decades, have exhibited a significant shift towards knowledge-intensive industrial sectors coupled with a considerable increase in competitiveness and growth. The analysis identifies the main factors of territorial development behind each regional renewal process and captures a number of common trajectories of regional competitiveness. Interestingly, all the regional ‘success stories' are strongly dependent on the presence of a tri-polar regional innovation system that glues together firms, government institutions and academia.

This paper is devoted to the analysis of content, systematization and consideration of possible innovative risks arising in the management of the region competitiveness. Methods of abstract-logical approach, comparative analysis, M. Porter's micro-economic approach to competitiveness at the macrolevel, and the method of structural-block simulation were used. Two groups of reasons – internal and external, contributing to the emergence of innovation risks – were identified. It is shown that the former are connected with the contradictory essence of the innovations themselves, which simultaneously contain both positive and negative potential, and the inability to predict in advance which of the two corresponding potential possibilities – creative or destructive – is put into practice. The second group includes some external factors and specific economic conditions in the region, for example, shortcomings in the organization and functioning of the regional innovation system. The group of risks that have the greatest impact on the process of formation of new innovative competitive advantages in the region is considered. The conducted study of risks allowed to formulate a model of regional competitiveness management on an innovative basis, taking into account the possibility of risks at each stage of competitiveness development.The model can be used in practice after introducing innovations of various types into the economic activity of the region and forming a system of sustainable competitive advantages of the region

The present study uncovers the critical regional factors essentially responsible for inter-state small and medium enterprises (SMEs) export differences. In this context, this study is useful from the perspective of regional/local policy implications, as it is focused on critical regional determinants of SMEs’ export. Based on a wide range of interconnected theories, this study designs an analytical framework comprising a set of regional factors, which are proposed to have a significant impact on export capabilities of local SMEs. The empirical results indeed confirm the relation significantly. States with larger and productive SMEs are more successful in export activities. Likewise, Indian states may enhance their SMEs’ export by focusing on regional factors such as market, skill and power generation capacity. JEL Classification: F12, F14, R12
