ORKESTRA WORKING PAPER SERIES IN TERRITORIAL COMPETITIVENESS

The Orkestra Working Paper Series in Territorial Competitiveness is an international focal point for dissemination of influential research and ideas in themes relating to the competitiveness of territories (regions, nations, cities ...).

The remit of the series includes analysis of specific themes such as: innovation, clusters, and associated policies; the economic, environmental and social aspects of territorial competitiveness; entrepreneurship; the relationship between firm strategy and territorial competitiveness.

In line with the role of Orkestra as a bridge between academic analysis and real world application, the series welcomes contributions both from researchers and practitioners working on themes related to competitiveness. The series as such is designed:

  1. (1) As a mechanism for the early dissemination of research with the aim of stimulating discussion and feedback prior to publication in a refereed academic journal, academic book or other formal research report (Research Papers: dark blue cover).
  2. (2) As a mechanism for the dissemination of critical ideas that contribute to practitioner and policy debates related to the competitiveness of territories (Debate Papers: light blue cover).

The series is edited by Dr. Graciela Kuechle, and Dr. M. Davide Parrilli. Submissions to the series should be sent to workingpapers@orkestra.deusto.es, and should conform to the simple guidelines set out in the following link
