I claim, in line with economic sociology and pragmatist market theories, that the socio-economic construction of value should be at the core of our contemporary understanding of innovation to address not merely the economic issues of globalization, but also the grand societal challenges we face today. Value creation should not be regarded as a consequential output of production and innovation organized across space, but as an ongoing process of social, economic and technical co-construction that is contingent on both time and space. This is not to say that one should abandon research on innovation in economic geography, but rather that it should be approached as a question of <em>valuation</em>. In this approach, value creation is not the consequence of innovation, but the process and the result of socially undertaken changes that are co-existential with innovation around two interdependent issues: innovation as relational and transactional valuation in markets and as institutional and political valuation in society. This research should also be future-oriented and should reposition materiality at its center.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":101047,"journal":{"name":"Progress in Economic Geography","volume":"2 2","pages":"Article 100022"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142423447","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To do so, it combines the concept of transformative enterprise with recent accounts of agency in evolutionary economic geography. We examine small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the wood-processing industry because by using a renewable resource that stores CO<sub>2</sub> and has the potential to replace polluting materials, they could become frontrunners in sustainability transformations through a wood-based bioeconomy. Empirically, we draw on a qualitative case study with 24 wood-processing SMEs in the Canton of Bern, Switzerland. Based on the concept of transformative enterprise, we identify five enterprise types: silent ecologists, social pioneers, visionary nonconformists, ambitious entrepreneurs, and pragmatist traditionalists. The first four types show many characteristics indicating transformative firm-level agency while only the ambitious entrepreneurs seem capable of inducing changes at the system-level. This is due to several limits of change agency, which we also illuminate. Overall, our study sheds light on the heterogeneity of firms as change agents in the context of sustainability transformation.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101047,"journal":{"name":"Progress in Economic Geography","volume":"2 2","pages":"Article 100020"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2949694224000142/pdfft?md5=c8d0f4f53063ed8f99804df3476863b8&pid=1-s2.0-S2949694224000142-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142084380","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this vein, ‘build back better’ programs are sought to tackle acute crisis and, at the same time, catalyze paths towards less carbon-intense production and consumption. However, little is known about how crises affect ongoing decarbonization efforts in different industry sectors and how this might differ in a variety of regional contexts. The building sector has been identified as one of the largest global contributors to greenhouse gas emissions and resource consumption. That is why a faster uptake of low-carbon building materials such as green cement and wood is a key goal. Based on a qualitative content analysis, which includes expert interviews, this paper traces the uptake of low carbon products in the building materials industry in the Lower Austrian region. To better understand the regional decarbonization pathway and the impact of the COVID-19 crisis, this paper explores key events, processes and related stakeholders that may accelerate or decelerate the dynamics of regional decarbonization pathways. The analysis shows that the industry’s decarbonization efforts have continued, but no significant catalysing effects from the crisis could be identified.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101047,"journal":{"name":"Progress in Economic Geography","volume":"2 2","pages":"Article 100019"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2949694224000130/pdfft?md5=87a1464fc63dba0b39bb100e043b47e4&pid=1-s2.0-S2949694224000130-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141952532","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using longitudinal data from Tel Aviv-Jaffa, Israel, we investigate shifts in industries within the region and the location decisions of individual entrepreneurs within the city. By integrating these factors, we assess whether the ecosystem consists of distinct, industry-specific sub-ecosystems. Our findings highlight the significant role played by the 'social media and advertising' sector in shaping the ecosystem. Furthermore, we identify a trend of entrepreneurs clustering their businesses in a concentrated area within the city, suggesting enhanced communication and collaboration among entrepreneurs across different industries. However, we note an exception in the 'digital health and medical technologies' industry, where proximity to research institutions, multinational corporations, and hospitals holds greater significance than proximity to entrepreneurs from other sectors.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101047,"journal":{"name":"Progress in Economic Geography","volume":"2 2","pages":"Article 100016"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2949694224000105/pdfft?md5=3756602d254dd32e075daa15b3cc1957&pid=1-s2.0-S2949694224000105-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141392409","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Its essence can be regarded as a complex system formed by the interconnection of a variety of heterogeneous networks. The supernetwork is an important method for studying such multilevel, multidimensional and multiagent correlation problems in network science. This method can effectively assess the intra- and interrelationships of each element entity. This paper incorporates the multielement entities in the national blue economic system into this multilayer network framework for systematic analysis and decomposes the development issue of the blue economy into the development issues of blue industries, blue products, blue firms and blue provinces. On this basis, this paper analyzes the conceptual model of the national blue economic system space, qualitatively describes the intra- and interexport relationships among multifactor entities in national blue economic development from the perspective of the multilayer network, and expounds the modeling principle of the national blue economic system space. This supernetwork approach provides effective new methods and tools for countries to study the development of the blue economy and formulate corresponding policies to achieve blue growth.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101047,"journal":{"name":"Progress in Economic Geography","volume":"2 1","pages":"Article 100013"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2949694224000075/pdfft?md5=61f573d97e44edb3cbed1d8027923d49&pid=1-s2.0-S2949694224000075-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139993177","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
