Reviews

The book deserves the attention of regional economists, management scientists and economic geographers. Since it provides a broad overview on diverse aspects of the knowledge-based economy, it is suitable for advanced students as well. Most important, it offers instructive and well-reflected recommendations for practitioners in regional and technology policy and business. The book can be recommended because it is scientifically ambitious and practically relevant-a balance that is rarely achieved. Oliver Ibert, University of Bonn (Economic Geography)
