Abstract

Abstract This article aims to explain the role of regional innovation policies in regional industrial transformation (RIT) from a coevolutionary perspective. The empirical basis is the case study of Małopolska, a Polish region undergoing an industrial transformation in parallel with the launch and development of its innovation policies after the EU accession in 2004. To accomplish its purpose, our research extends the common coevolutionary theoretical framework with interaction mechanisms (IMs), that is, the outcome-oriented processes underlying policy-industry mutual influences, and thus explaining their coevolution. IMs allow us to better understand the reciprocal roles of policy and industry, and the major paths in industrial development and policy approach. The role of innovation policy in the Małopolska RIT can be described as predominantly accommodating and complementing industrial change with some level of proactive promotion of new industrial opportunities. Moreover, we observe reciprocal relationships with regional industry, rather than the unidirectional influence of this policy. This dynamic interaction enabled the evolution of policy to balance the exploitative and explorative approaches to industrial development.

协同进化视角下的区域创新政策与区域产业转型——以波兰Małopolska为例

摘要本文旨在从协同进化的视角解释区域创新政策在区域产业转型中的作用。本文的实证基础是对Małopolska的案例研究，该地区在2004年加入欧盟后，与创新政策的推出和发展同步进行了产业转型。为了实现这一目的，本研究将共同进化的理论框架与相互作用机制(IMs)进行了扩展，即政策与产业相互影响的结果导向过程，从而解释了它们的共同进化。会议使我们更好地了解政策和产业的相互作用，以及产业发展的主要路径和政策途径。创新政策在Małopolska RIT中的作用可以描述为主要适应和补充产业变革，并在一定程度上积极促进新的产业机会。此外，我们观察到与区域产业的互惠关系，而不是该政策的单向影响。这种动态的相互作用使政策的演变能够平衡工业发展的开发性和探索性方法。

期刊介绍： Economic Geography is a peer-reviewed journal dedicated to publishing original research that advances the field of economic geography. Their goal is to publish high-quality studies that are both theoretically robust and grounded in empirical evidence, contributing to our understanding of the geographic factors and consequences of economic processes. It welcome submissions on a wide range of topics that provide primary evidence for significant theoretical interventions, offering key insights into important economic, social, development, and environmental issues. To ensure the highest quality publications, all submissions undergo a rigorous peer-review process with at least three external referees and an editor. Economic Geography has been owned by Clark University since 1925 and plays a central role in supporting the global activities of the field, providing publications and other forms of scholarly support. The journal is published five times a year in January, March, June, August, and November.
