Tiivistelmä: | This paper takes a cross-level approach in contributing to defining the competences accumulated and shared in an industrial district, and to explaining how they differ from firm-specific, knowledge-based capacities. From a dataset of 952 Spanish firms and 35 industrial districts, the paper proposes empirical evidence that industrial districts are spaces with dense networks of information and knowledge transfer, inter-personnel relationships and a strong specialized stock of human capital, which are accessible and shared by all firms embedded in such a district. The complementarity between district and firm-specific capacities is explained. |
