The civil society and business and industrial development
• The successful regions have a rich organisational life, the inhabitants take responsibility, there is good and open communication between key social actors, the political organisations and institutions enjoy popular support and they work for their region locally, regionally, nationally and internationally and in relation to sectors and organisations Egalitarian "independence culture”
• Regions that function poorly are characterised by "hierarchy" and "power centralisation", i.e. elites and routines have been established that are more concerned with controlling and restricting initiatives. The "third sector" (the civil society) is poorly developed and there is poor communication and co-operation between political bodies, market institutions and the
"third sector”. A "wage earner culture" with class conflicts

from production to production-oriented services
• Market organisation of public activities
• Competition between regions
• The communicative society
• Recruitment of leaders and specialists
• New demands on regional communities as “total communities

Regional business and industry and challenges of knowledge
• Regions with a positive development have high internal powers of change, a high degree of open flow of knowledge between actors and a long tradition of growth (Nilsson 1998), often such that growth in some industries compensates for decline in others.
• The growth of new know-ledge and competence comes in the form of self-development in existing businesses and environ-ments, the transfer of knowledge between industries and companies, a high rate of establishing new companies based on knowledge and through the recruitment of young, well-qualified people.

Public competence activity and its connection with significance for innovations in regional
business and industry • Do university and research environments result in the
establishment of companies and the development of
business and industry? • Is education and research activity important for regional
social and industrial development? • Is investment in special programmes the solution for
building innovative competence in business and industry? • Is the sector organisation in the public sector an obstacle
to regional innovation?

Strategies:• Production of knowledge that is related to the
region itself, to the business and industrial situation in the area - increase knowledge capital
• The capture and sieving of external knowledge that can help to increase the capability to meet new challenges and to implement changes - increase relational capital
• The linking of internal knowledge production and the grasping of knowledge externally into joint learning processes which further the development of the region as a special area - mobilise
![Page 32: Structure and strategy for regional learning and innovation Professor Jørgen Amdam Volda University College 2012 1](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062417/551bef83550346af588b65f1/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

This requires of regional public and private actors:
Acceptance of long‑term development structures and strategies, and binding co-operation to achieve change and improve quality
Acceptance of an active involvement that aims to change the working methods of each individual actor, and the working methods of co-operating actors, in order to establish a total system that functions better.

Challenges to be met in regional development
Integrated national strategy to co-ordinate among other things educational, industrial and labour market policy is necessary.
Domain defences have to be dismantled, and innovation is needed that leads to the release of resources.
The centralised building of institutions leads to systems failure, that can only be repaired through local institutions and initiatives, and active learning processes at all levels. This requires an active development programme led and initiated from the bottom upwards and a more integrated national allocation system.
![Page 35: Structure and strategy for regional learning and innovation Professor Jørgen Amdam Volda University College 2012 1](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062417/551bef83550346af588b65f1/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
35
What stimulates and prevents regionally initiated development
• Entrepreneurs - collective and private key individuals
• Networks and arenas
• External threats
• High local mobility of relevant knowledge and information
• Local identity
![Page 36: Structure and strategy for regional learning and innovation Professor Jørgen Amdam Volda University College 2012 1](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062417/551bef83550346af588b65f1/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)

Proactive work involves systematic differential treatment in order to reach concrete goals

“Total” integration, is characterised by Cornett in Bengs (2002)
• The development of specific geographically defined systems of production such as industrial districts, clusters of industries, or systems of innovation.
• A system of urban networks defined according to specific functional links.
• The availability of a relevant regional infrastructure linking the analysed areas together.
• Last but not least, the intensity of intra-regional flows relative to outside flows can be considered the “conditio sine non quo” when we talk of a spatially integrated area.
