Download or read book The Fourth Italy The Urban Economic Geography of Contemporary Innovation and Entrepreneurship a Case Study of Rome written by Stefania Fiorentino and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study posits the emergence of a Fourth Italy, a new urban geography of innovation, which updates the historical tri-partition proposed by Bagnasco (1977). The effects of globalization and new communication technologies have imposed a number of changes in the economic dynamics and labour market of the country. This, in turn, has caused the decline of the "Third Italy" and its industrial district model and the revival of cities as attractors of innovative businesses. This research considers the entrepreneurial ecosystem of Rome and provides an overview of the new actors and intermediaries of this new geographical model: makers, shared service accommodations and start-ups. The entrepreneurial orientation of this new urban economy resembles the starting point of a new Schumpeterian business cycle. A foundational theoretical framework is offered by cognitive-cultural capitalism, embodying culture, creativity, digital technologies and innovation. The objective of the study is to provide empirical evidence of this distribution proposing an incremental contribution to agglomeration theory. A case study design with a qualitative data collection has been used to identify, map and describe the key actors, firms and features of this new entrepreneurial ecosystem as well as the role played by institutions in its genesis. Old and new locations for innovation are compared, namely Third and Fourth Italies. Findings suggest that this urban revival is restricted to small businesses in their start-up phase, when trust relations and local embeddedness are still crucial to their establishment, and that the extensive institutional involvement ultimately disguises a lagging socio-economic context. Knowledge of the Fourth Italy paves the way for future policymaking and research on the new phenomenon of agglomeration.

This book was released on 2013-01-04 with total page 802 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Oxford Handbook provides a fresh overall view and interpretation of the modern economic growth of one of the largest European countries, whose economic history is less known internationally than that of other comparably large and successful economies. It will provide, for the first time, a comprehensive, quantitative "new economic history" of Italy. The handbook offers an interpretation of the main successes and failures of the Italian economy at a macro level, the research--conducted by a large international team of scholars --contains entirely new quantitative results and interpretations, spanning the entire 150-year period since the unification of Italy, on a large number of issues. By providing a comprehensive view of the successes and failures of Italian firms, workers, and policy makers in responding to the challenges of the international business cycle, the book crucially shapes relevant questions on the reasons for the current unsatisfactory response of the Italian economy to the ongoing "second globalization." Most chapters of the handbook are co-authored by both an Italian and a foreign scholar.
