| Popis: | At present time, we are in the presence of a great transmutation of the notion of competitiveness, national and regional. On the one hand, the concept has evolved from a conception strictly focused on foreign trade to the broader perspective of meeting the demanding and ever-growing needs of citizens and businesses, in terms of well-being, prosperity and development, collective efficiency, even social cohesion. On the other hand, while competitiveness in the past was based only on the levels of production costs, nowadays, it is on the contrary based on strategic watch and economic intelligence, flexibility, variety, distinction, and specialization, quality and innovation. According to this new logic of competitiveness, the subnational region would have its say, given that it is only at this territorial level that the pooling of resources and the co-construction of collaborative territorial projects by economic actors, geographically and institutionally close, can be deployed to ensure individual and collective performance, and to boost local, regional and national competitiveness. The present work is guided by this guideline. It therefore focuses on the prediction, explanation and description of the determinants of regional competitiveness. In doing so, the focus will be on the work of the New Geographic Economy (NEG) and those relating to the theory of the New Industrial and Territorial Organization (NOIT). In this regard, we consider that they can be united in a unifying framework, in this case, the location, concentration, agglomeration and territorial networking of companies operating in local productive territories. Our objective is to found a conceptual framework of regional competitiveness and deduce managerial and political implications. Alternatives Managériales Economiques, Vol. 2, No 4 (2020) |
