Business models as systemic instruments for the evolution of traditional districts?

Cocchi, Andrea (2011): Business models as systemic instruments for the evolution of traditional districts?

Abstract

This paper aims to explore the potential role of Innovation Intermediaries in the evolution of a traditional cluster toward a service-oriented perspective. In particular, we will highlight the generative function of business models, here as market devices, in stimulating the co- evolution of Intermediary and target firms’ strategies.
