Description
Summary:This paper presents the theory of endogenous development theory as a means of industrial organization, from a neo-Schumpeterian approach, on a new paradigm based on Information and Communication Technology. This new paradigm based on the flexible accumulation model, with decentralized production, and less dependent on the existence of economies of scale, makes possible opportunities for the development of small and medium enterprises. From this perspective, the new local/regional development strategies evidence various interrelated concepts such as industrial districts, clusters, local productive and innovative systems and arrangements and milieux innovateurs, that show the importance of micro, small, and medium enterprises for the development process of a region.These concepts include elements such as interaction, cooperation, joint actions and others, as determinants for the better performance of enterprises and, consequently, of regional economic development, or rather a new industrial organization.
