Abstract

BRUGGER E. A. and STUCKEY B. (1987) Regional economic structure and innovative behaviour in Switzerland, Reg. Studies 21, 241--254. The following article is a summary of research results gained through various projects which were carried out under the auspices of the Swiss National Research Programme 'Regional Problems in Switzerland’. The subject dealt with is the relationship between innovative activity at the entrepreneurial level and regional disparities in the Swiss economic landscape. Emphasis is put on product, market, and process innovations. Organizational, management, financial, and sourcing innovations are treated marginally or not at all. The special contribution of the paper lies in the quantity and variety of studies which were available for analysing developments in one small area--the country of Switzerland. BRUGGER E. A. et STUCKEY B. (1987) Structure économique régionale et comportement innovateur en Suisse, Reg. Studies 21, 241--254. L'article qui suit est un résumé des résultats des recherches obtenus grâce à divers projets qui ont été exécutés sous les auspices du Programme de Recherche nationale suisse 'Problémes régionaux en Suisse’. Le sujet que nous traitons concerene les rapports entre l'activité innovatrice au niveau de l'entreprise et les disparités régionales dans le paysage économique suisse. L'accent est mis sur le produit, le marché, et les innovations techniques. Les innovations organisationnelles, administratives, financiéres et informatrices sont traitées de façon marginale ou pas du tout. L'intérêt particulier de l'article réside dans la quantité et la variété des études qui étaient disponibles pour analyser les développements dans une petite zone--la Suisse. BRUGGER E. A. und STUCKEY B. (1987) Regionale Wirtschaftsstruktur und innovatives Verhalten in der Schweiz, Reg. Studies 21, 241--254. Der folgende Auftsaz ist eine Zusammenfassung von Forschungsergebnissen verschiedenartiger Forschungsvorhaben, die im Rahmen des Schweizer Nationalen Forschungsprogramms 'Regionalprobleme in der Schweiz’ durchgefuhrt wurden. Der Gegenstand handelt von der Beziehung zwischen innovativer Aktivität auf Unternehmerebene und regionalen Ungleichheiten in der Wirtschaftslandschaft der Schweiz. Betont werden Innovationen bei Produktion, Märkten und Herstellungsprozessen. Innovationen in Organisation, Management, Finanz- und Quellenbeschaffung werden nur am Rande oder gar nicht behandelt. Der besondere Beitrag des Aufsatzes liegt in der Menge und Vielfalt der Unter-suchungen, die zur Analyse von Entwicklungen in einem kleinen Gebiet- der Schweiz- zur Verfugung standen.
