ABSTRACT

This paper contributes to the literature by proposing that regions have to develop dynamic capabilities in order to successfully adapt to big disruption such as Industry 4.0. It explores both the strategic management and the regional studies literatures to explore why, how and what dynamic capabilities might be deployed at a regional level. The theoretical insights are illustrated in the case of the Emilia-Romagna region in Italy. Dynamic capabilities appear both to mediate between structure and agency in regional path development and to promote value creation and capture. Their consideration in Research and Innovation Strategies for Smart Specialisation (RIS3) might favour policy implementation besides policy definition.

摘要

本文通过提出地区必须发展动态能力才能成功适应工业 4.0 等重大颠覆，从而为文献做出贡献。它探讨了战略管理和区域研究文献，以探讨为什么、如何以及可以在区域层面部署哪些动态能力。意大利艾米利亚-罗马涅地区的案例说明了理论见解。动态能力似乎在区域路径发展中的结构和代理之间起到中介作用，并促进价值创造和获取。他们在智能专业化研究和创新战略 (RIS3) 中的考虑可能有利于政策实施，而不是政策定义。
