  2. 1. Spatial clustering and industrial competitiveness : Studies in economic geography

    Author : Per Lundequist; Inge Ivarsson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Social and economic geography; economic geography; cluster; industrial competitiveness; institutional thickness; learning; music industry; regional policy; Sweden; North East England; Kulturgeografi; Human geography; Kulturgeografi; kulturgeografi; Social and Economic Geography;

    Abstract : This thesis deals with the causes and effects of spatial clustering of similar and related economic activity. The relationship between spatial clustering and industrial competitive-ness is analysed in a series of empirical studies, revolving around four research questions: How useful is an institutional approach in analyses of spatial clustering? Can the link between spatial clustering and industrial performance be empirically validated and measured by quantitative methods? In what sense does spatial clustering promote localised processes of learning and innovation? What role can industrial and regional policies play in promoting the type of localised processes emphasised in spatial clustering research?It proves to be a rather complicated matter to measure the impact of spatial clustering on firm performance.

  4. 2. Competitive Advantage Strategies in Industrial Marketing : Using an Ecosystem Approach

    Author : Jeandri Robertson; Tim Foster; Stefanie Paluch; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; ecosystems; competitive advantage; competitiveness; network theory; social capital theory; resource-based view; dynamic capabilities; transient advantage; innovation; knowledge; entrepreneurship; Industrial Marketing; Industriell marknadsföring;

    Abstract : Intensified competitive pressures related to a dynamic and hypercompetitive global economy, technological advances, unpredictable customers and competitors, and blurring industry boundaries, have compelled industrial marketers to reconsider the strategic imperatives of the organization, in relation to the competitive context in which it operates. As it becomes increasingly difficult for individual firms to identify and respond to external competitive challenges and changes independently, new organizational perspectives have been proposed to thrive in the presence of these forces.

  5. 3. Lactic acid production: extractive fermentation in aqueous two-phase systems

    Author : Jordi Planes; Teknisk mikrobiologi; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; gel excludion chromatography; polyethylenimine; ethylene oxide propylene oxide; phase forming polymers; aqueous two-phase systems; extractive fermentation; Lactococcus; Lactobacillus; Mikrobiologi; bakteriologi; virologi; mykologi; bacteriology; virology; mycology; Microbiology;

    Abstract : There is an increased interest in the microbial production of lactic acid as a raw material for the synthesis of lactic acid polymers as biodegradable plastics. However, two factors limit the economical competitiveness of lactic acid production by microorganisms: lactic acid inhibition, which decreases both fermentation rate and the maximum lactic acid concentration, and the efficiency in the recovery of lactic acid.

    Abstract : This book is particularly concerned with examining the creation of the Öresund region, a process that represents the internationalization and geopolitical changes in the world, where new industrial regions emerge in competition for growth and wealth. The emerging Öresund region is a new type of industrial region – a transnational region that is difficult to analyze in a traditional way, for example, by a structural economic analysis. READ MORE
