摘要本文旨在探讨新产业路径如何在周边区域经济中产生和成长。目前的区域路径发展概念是基于核心区域的经验，无法为外围地区的新路径创造活动提供令人满意的理论解释。我们的概念方法结合了路径开发和知识库的概念，使我们能够区分路径创建的分析路径和综合路径。我们认为，应适当重视新路径发展和政策行动的外源性来源，以了解分析和综合路线如何在外围地区展开。在主流的路径创建模型中，这些因素仍未得到充分重视。本文分析了挪威和奥地利两个外围地区的新兴产业的出现和演变：挪威东南部的阿伦达尔-格里姆斯塔德的电子和软件产业，以及上奥地利州的梅<s:1>尔维耶尔特尔的软件产业。这两个行业的发展方式不同：通过基于阿伦达尔-格里姆斯塔德制造公司的出现和重组的综合路线，以及通过基于在m<s:1> hlviertel建立研究设施的分析路线。我们的分析表明，来自外部来源的新分析和综合知识的流入以及各种类型的政策干预对于激发这两个地区新产业路径的形成至关重要。这些发现明显挑战了统一的、狭隘的产业演化概念模型，并支持了最近倡导更广泛的理论框架来捕捉外生主导和政策支持的路径创造过程的工作。
Abstract The aim of this article is to explore how new industrial paths emerge and grow in peripheral regional economies. Current conceptualizations of regional path development are based on experiences from core regions and fail to provide satisfactory theoretical explanations of new path-creating activities in peripheral areas. Our conceptual approach combines the notions of path development and knowledge bases, enabling us to distinguish between an analytic and a synthetic route of path creation. We argue that due emphasis should be given to exogenous sources of new path development and policy actions in order to understand how analytical and synthetic routes unfold in peripheral regions. These factors are still underappreciated in prevailing models of path creation. The article contains an analysis of the emergence and evolution of new industries in two peripheral regions in Norway and Austria: the electronics and software industry in Arendal–Grimstad in southeastern Norway, and the software industry in Mühlviertel in Upper Austria. The two industries have developed differently: through the synthetic route based on the emergence and restructuring of manufacturing firms in Arendal–Grimstad and through the analytical route building on the establishment of research facilities in Mühlviertel. Our analysis suggests that the inflow of new analytical and synthetic knowledge from exogenous sources and various types of policy interventions have been vital in sparking the formation of new industrial paths in both regions. The findings clearly challenge uniform, narrowly conceptualized models of industrial evolution and support recent work that advocates a broader theoretical framework to capture exogenously led and policy-supported path-creation processes.
