To acquire insight and knowledge of the relations that exist between the firm and its spatial environment. The focus is at the dynamics of economic change and the consequences for industrial policy and the change in strategically behaviour of firms.
Next to the process of technological development and industrial change the emphasis is on the role which cities and regions play and the conditions they create for the functioning of various types of firms. Attention is paid to regional economic potential and the importance of agglomerationfactors and networkexternalities that enhance dynamic conditions for change, like new firm information, growth and decline, industrial restructuring and renewal of the industrial base. In a mature industrial service economy both single and multiplant enterprises exist. As a consequence of this the focus is not only at location factors for the manufacturing industry, as necessary elements that create conditions for growth, but attention must also be oriented at the characteristics of the environment itself. For the industrial sectors of the service industry not only other characteristics are important for the functioning of firms but the emphasis also is on the quality of the environment for living. With regard to industrial policy one should recognise that it has several aspects. Industrial policy not only aims at influencing of the industrial structure, it also has regional implications. Moreover it orients at industrial change and development. The analysis of industrial policy thus is not static of nature but has to be dynamic. This implies that it has to be judged in the context of sectoral developments and in the context of the dynamics of policy itself (the policy-life-cycle). Subjects that are dealt with are "firms and their networks", "firms and innovations", both in central as in peripheral regions, the regional embeddedness of firms in the global economy and national industrial policy strategies in Europe.
Will be announced at the first lecture.
