| Abstract: | In order to advance the understanding of which types of regional innovation system represent effective innovation support
for what kinds of industry in different regions analyses must be contextualized by reference to the actual knowledge base
of various industries as well as to the regional and national institutional framework, which strongly shape the innovation
processes of firms. Of special importance is the linkage between the larger institutional frameworks of the national innovation
and business systems, and the character of regional innovation systems. In making the arguments about a general correspondence
between the macro-institutional characteristics of the economy and the dominant form and character of its regional innovation
systems a link is provided to the literature on ‘varieties of capitalism’ and national business systems. |
