Synopsis

Members of the Innovation Systems Research Network (ISRN) in Canada are the contributors of the 26 case studies of this collection. The studies examine the history of industry groups over a five-year period as a means of assessing their ability to thrive in the global and local economy. Competition, government regulation, and the differences in how the industry cluster functions locally as opposed to internationally are central themes. The industry clusters are found in various parts of Canada and include biotech, tool and die, steel, and mining concerns. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
