This title was first published in 2002. The interest in becoming globally competitive through network strategies, particularly networks between small and medium-sized firms in local business communities, is high among academic researchers, economic development agencies and growth orientated firms. Important contributions to our understanding of the strategic use of networks are coming from a number of disciplinary and theoretical perspectives. This volume provides a unique opportunity to both synthesize this diverse literature and report the results of original research. It is particularly relevant to scholars of business and management, geography and economics

Reviews for Global Competition and Local Networks

’Everything you ever wanted to know about networks (but were afraid to ask)!’ In an increasingly multiplex global environment, well-developed local networks make a significant contribution to improvements in firms’ international competitiveness. McNaughton and Green have assembled an excellent collection that reflects the state of the art in the area. Essential and insightful reading for anyone interested local clusters and global networks.’ Jim Bell, Professor of International Business Entrepreneurship, University of Ulster, Magee College
