The theme of this subject is how industries and businesses acquire their organizational and structural form, and how relational changes and innovations take place. There will be a particular focus on the mechanisms that are applicable and the processes that take place within different businesses, both at industry level and at local and regional level within the frameworks of public policy and globalization. The perspective will be comparative and will include changes in theories of entrepreneurship, the creation of networks, vertical and horizontal integration, flexible specialization and agglomeration. The assigned literature is taken from various organizational theories, economic sociology, institutional economy and human geography.
