ABSTRACT

In the 1980s, Switzerland’s Jura Arc region was a globally competitive ‘new industrial space’ in the Third Industrial Revolution’s flexible accumulation regime based on information and communication technology (ICT) and automation processes. Recently, this nowadays ‘old industrial space’ has been experiencing the implementation of Industry 4.0. Caught between the use of existing productive assets and the development of platform-based market ecosystems, this region illustrates the challenges inherent in implementing ‘forking innovation’, which requires the development not only of new business models, but also of collaborative and investment models in order to scale up and increase local value capture.

摘要

在 1980 年代，在第三次工业革命以信息和通信技术 (ICT) 和自动化流程为基础的灵活积累制度中，瑞士的侏罗弧地区是具有全球竞争力的“新工业空间”。最近，这个如今的“旧工业空间”正在经历工业4.0的实施。该地区夹在现有生产性资产的使用和基于平台的市场生态系统的发展之间，说明了实施“分叉创新”所固有的挑战，这不仅需要开发新的商业模式，还需要开发协作和投资模式以扩大规模并增加本地价值捕获。
