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":"2024-12-01","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}

Whether in the fields of social media, urban transport, industry cloud services or gig work, platformization is therein often discussed as a more-than-economic phenomenon engaging in a conflictive relationship with public interest, sovereignty, regulation and the state. However, while the concept of the platform has become ubiquitous, the integration of and dialogue between various broadened definitions are less often practiced. In our short paper, we argue that for further addressing this intricate relation between platforms, power and sovereignty an engagement with the platform concept and its integration through a political economy understanding is key for two reasons: Firstly, an overarching concept of platformization transcending the political/economy binary is necessary to be able to problematize the reification of normalized economic practices lying at the heart of the phenomenon. Secondly, there is a pragmatic reason for developing a geographical political economy perspective on platformization as it can serve as a common ground for an <em>engaged pluralism</em> within and beyond the discipline of economic geography. Based on a systematization of existing definitions this paper therefore combines insights from political economy perspectives, urban platform research and research on platform labor to propose a working definition stimulating a reflection on the platform discourse thus far and strengthening strategical-relational thinking on platform power in future research.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":101047,"journal":{"name":"Progress in Economic Geography","volume":"2 2","pages":"Article 100024"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142423448","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}

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.

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":"2024-12-01","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}

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.

This transition is currently unfolding and it is driven in particular by innovation activities taking place along the sector’s value chain. In the upstream segment, bio-based materials are being improved, while novel building techniques in the core segment enable the use of these materials. In this paper, we utilize the global innovation systems (GIS) framework to examine these innovation activities and their valuation dynamics. In particular, we investigate how the GIS of the bio-based construction sector is organized along its value chain, providing insights into the barriers to the sector's sustainability transition. Our empirical analysis, based on a rich set of expert interviews, demonstrates that the GIS configuration changes along the value chain, driven by profound differences in the innovation mode. This situation creates a bottleneck that hinders the sector's transition, where knowledge about bio-based materials developed upstream fails to translate down the value chain. However, we also find that several niche firms cover and integrate multiple value chain segments and overcome this knowledge gap, suggesting that the transition towards a bio-based construction sector could accelerate with further innovation system reconfigurations.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":101047,"journal":{"name":"Progress in Economic Geography","volume":"2 2","pages":"Article 100023"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142433152","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}

Diverse forms of collaborative workspaces (CWSs) proliferated in many cities worldwide in the past 15 years and manifested in a diversity of forms, such as e.g. fablabs, maker-, hacker-, or coworking spaces. Despite the diversity, these spaces share three distinctive features: openness for a diversified set of users, aspiration to promote creative processes, and potential to allow for societal experimentation. So far, empirical research either highlights their functions in safeguarding the deficiencies related to new work regimes or the affordances for fostering collaborative creativity and innovation. We propose career resilience as a concept to integrate both perspectives. We investigate CWSs as locally situated contexts enabling users to combine stabilising and transformative resources to advance their careers. The paper draws on more than 100 qualitative interviews with operators, managers, and users of CWSs in the metropolitan regions Amsterdam, Berlin, and Detroit. We inductively develop five different types of practices that address fundamental career related uncertainties to individual and collective measures to create career resilience. In CWSs, users seek company, focus, assets, guidance, and meaning. CWSs are thus spatial and organisational settings that complement multisited, mobile work practices and that illustrate the importance of permanent organisational and material places in increasingly volatile working environments.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101047,"journal":{"name":"Progress in Economic Geography","volume":"2 1","pages":"Article 100004"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2949694223000032/pdfft?md5=69e9e1a4438b77c70232412c41034329&pid=1-s2.0-S2949694223000032-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139025153","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}
