"Knowledge and innovation: the strings between global and local dimensions of sustainable growth”, Enterpreneurship and Regional Development, sem info, 0-0, 2009.0898-5626AUT: LNF01492;http://hdl.handle.net/10400.1/4310The modern growth literature pays much attention to innovation and knowledge as drivers of endogenous developments in a competitive open economic system. This paper reviews concisely the literature in this field and addresses in particular micro- and macro-economic interactions at local or regional levels, based on clustering and networking principles, in which sustainability conditions also play a core role. The paper then develops a so-called knowledge circuit model comprising the relevant stakeholders, which aims to offer a novel framework for applied policy research at the meso-economic level.engEndogenous developmentEntrepreneurshipInnovationKnowledge managementLocal developmentSustainable growthjournal article2014-06-12http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/08985620903020094
