ABSTRACT

Place leadership (PL) influences the capability of places hit by disruptive challenges to react and reroute to new paths of development. Recent contributions consider the positive role of PL, while negative aspects are still under-investigated. This paper proposes a conceptual framework that, focusing on local productive systems (LPSs), explores PL’s dark side. Forms of PL accompanying LPSs show different degrees of openness and strength that interact with the same LPS structural features. Enclosed forms of PL, aiming to preserve restricted and well-established interests, might intentionally resist attempts of LPS rerouting if undermining such interests, albeit beneficial to the system overall.

摘要

地方领导力 (PL) 会影响受到破坏性挑战影响的地方做出反应并重新选择新发展路径的能力。最近的贡献考虑了 PL 的积极作用，而消极方面仍在调查中。本文提出了一个概念框架，重点关注本地生产系统 (LPS)，探索 PL 的阴暗面。伴随 LPS 的 PL 形式显示出不同程度的开放性和强度，与相同的 LPS 结构特征相互作用。PL 的封闭形式旨在保护受限制的和既定的利益，如果破坏这些利益，可能会有意抵制 LPS 重新路由的尝试，尽管对整个系统有利。
