1 SPM9539: Economy, Ecology and Technology of Networked Industrial Complexes Week 1 course 1: course introduction From Analysis to Shaping Industrial Clusters Dr.ir. Gerard P.J. Dijkema Associate Professor TBM a g.p.j.dijkema@tudelft.nl Source: September 9, Faculty Vermelding of Technology, onderdeel organisatie Policy and Management Energy & Industry Group

2 The object of this course Understanding / shaping industrial networks Using a variety of perspectives Core perspective: industrial or business cluster What is it? September 9,

3 A business cluster is a geographic concentration of interconnected businesses, suppliers, and associated institutions in a particular field. September 9,

4 Source: September 9,

5 Course objectives Students learn to: 1. Understand and apply system theory and system analysis tools on the performance, evolution, dynamics and development of large-scale industrial complexes or business clusters 2. Understand and apply theories on innovation, economics and ecology of global business and their implications for specific industrial markets, industrial sites and transition. 3. Analyse and understand the role of various stakeholders involved in the transition management, and to synthesize and operationalise economic, technology and policy-oriented theories, methods and tools. September 9,

6 Course agenda Lectures (subject to change) Week Subject Case-examples 1 Introduction: cluster views Various 2 Cluster Economy and Typology Westland 3 Location Factors & Site selection Rotterdam 4 Industrial Parks and Eco-Industrial Parks in China TEDA, DDA 5 Stakeholders, Institutions & Regulatory Regimes Westland vs. CostaDue 6 Industrial Ecology - Bringing Clusters into Being Kalundborg vs. Dinteloord 7 Action-Oriented Industrial Ecology MVII and CostaDue 8 Transition management Paper and Board Literature and Assignments each week 2-3 scientific papers to read and digest each week an individual assignment to be completed September 9,

7 The assignments during the course During this course you will complete one assignment each week; together, these will provide a basis for the final written report. These assignments will help you: Understand the implications of theories discussed. Formulate a personal view on networked industrial development. Understand the problems that are encountered when various viewpoints collide. Find viewpoints other than those discussed in class in the available, reputable literature. September 9,

8 Assignment 1 Choose a particular type of industry or cluster and a locale. Do you have access to sufficient information on this industry/locale?? Create a first image/ systemic description of your cluster by answering these questions What kind of companies are part of this cluster (construction, production, research & development, engineering & consultancy services, transport, financing, marketing etc.) What are the characteristics of this industry? (physical, economic, technological, knowledge, other) What phase is this cluster in (initial, booming, mature, decline)? Boundary of your cluster (geographic, activity, other) September 9,

9 Assignment 1 (continued) Choose a particular type of industry or cluster and a locale. Find three distinct definitions of a cluster in the scientific literature (beyond the definition cited from Wikipedia) and make a choice for the best definition for your particular chosen industry. Could you improve the definition for your industry of choice? What characteristics of the chosen industry/locale are interesting with respect to options for (regional) clustering? September 9,

14 Clusters, complexes why care? September 9,

15 Production factors are local, competition is global Survival, prosperity requires leveraging the combination of local resources, infrastructure knowledge September 9,

16 System analysis in networks Current Performance: Input/output analysis: Mass balance. Energy balance. Money input / output. Human resources. Feedstock Utilities Current Structure Participants, roles Network structure Types of relationships Formal and informal power / authority Character and Culture Investment & Operating Cost Revenues Salaries A chemical Cluster G.P.J. Dijkema, Process System Innovation by Design, 2004 Skilled Labour Waste Know-how Emissions Products System Surroundings September 9,

17 Designing or shaping networks? Design / Development / Shaping / Evolution Attention for: Design of what? How to change structure and content Strategies for growth and competitiveness? Path dependence and lock-in effects. (Im)possibilities for future development. Possible supply chain integration & extension. September 9,

18 Theoretical background Development, management and evolution of industrial regions can be viewed from various perspectives: Regional economics. Industrial ecology. Traditional cluster perspective (Porter). Location theory (Witlox). Clusters as Socio-Technical Systems (Complex Adaptive Systems) Business Economics perspective (individual companies). These points will be discussed throughout the course. You will be asked to read articles and comment on them! September 9,

19 Stakeholder background WHO play a role in the development of networked industries? WHAT are the positions of the various identifiable actor positions? HOW can this be used to influence the structure or design, development or operational management of networked industries? September 9,

20 Industrial region interaction Companies: Investments, Jobs, Universities: Research, Industrial Region Policy interaction: National Legislature, European Union, Trade agreements (GATT, WTO) etc. September 9,

21 Industrial region interaction Companies: Investments, Jobs, Universities: Research, Industrial Region Policy interaction: National Legislature, European Union, Trade agreements (GATT, WTO) Types of industrial regions: Pure agglomeration (The average company park). Industrial complex (Chemical industry in Rotterdam). Social network (Silicon valley). September 9,
