Regions, Globalization, and the Knowledge-Based Economy

A rich and informative book which considers the key dynamics and characteristics of the new global economy. How can we explain the paradox of growing transnationalization of the production of goods and services and the tendency for certain kinds of activities to be concentrated or 'clustered' in one place? In today's changing economic environment how do firms make decisions about location and about the development and deployment of their distinctive capabilities? John Dunning heads a team of leading international contributors in this follow-up to the highly successful Governments, Globalization, and International Business (OUP, 1997).
