This book strives to fill this gap in highlighting the connection between inter-firm cooperation in regional clusters, innovation and regional networks, and the role of universities in them . It goes beyond the traditional economic approach of clusters and includes ?soft factors? in the explanation of regional competitiveness, and connects the literature on clusters to the literature of learning and knowledge creation as sources of regional competitiveness. It aims to foster an international and interdisciplinary exchange of perspectives by presenting current developments, case studies, best practices as well as new integrated theoretical approaches and applications. 410 0$aAdvances in spatial science. 606 $aCompetition 606 $aSmall business$xTechnological innovations 606 $aTechnology transfer$xEconomic aspects 615 0$aCompetition. 615 0$aSmall business$xTechnological innovations. 615 0$aTechnology transfer$xEconomic aspects. 676 $a338.6048 701 $aFerreira$b Joao J.
