Learning for Innovation in the Global Knowledge Economy

The objective of this book is to develop a knowledge base on the learning and innovative behaviour of clustered SMEs in the South West of England and the Singapore-Johor cross-border area. Specifically, the factors which stimulate or inhibit innovation (inter-firm, regional/local, institutional or structural) are identified. Advancing the understanding of learning behaviour patterns of SMEs is crucial to improving the competitiveness of regional agglomerations around the world.
