本文采用行业研究方法，对一群产品和服务提供商进行了评估，这些供应商在一个衰落的行业（钢铁）中利用了区域专业知识，继续向全球行业提供技术。匹兹堡钢铁技术集群的形成取决于三个主要的区域因素：地理位置、劳动力和遗产。特别是，匹兹堡在冶金和材料科学方面的专业知识和悠久传统是该集群成功和该地区恢复力的最终来源。研究结果对区域经济发展政策及其与路径依赖的关系具有重要的理论和实践意义。
Using an industry studies approach, this article provides an assessment of a cluster of product and service providers that have leveraged regional expertise in a declining industry (steel) to continue to supply technology to a global industry. The formation of Pittsburgh's steel technology cluster has depended on three main regional factors: location, labour and legacy. In particular, Pittsburgh's expertise and long tradition in metallurgy and materials science has been the ultimate source of the cluster's success and the region's resilience. The results of this research have practical and theoretical implications for regional economic development policy and its relationship to path dependence.
