Abstract

Lindkvist K. B. and S�nchez J. L. Conventions and innovation: a comparison of two localized natural resource-based industries, Regional Studies . The paper explores the development of new conventions in two natural resource-based industries, the Norwegian salt fish industry and the wine industry in the Spanish region of Castilla y Le�n. Modest innovation in the former industry tied to domestic and industrial conventions is contrasted with the success of the latter. Wine producers have adopted the Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) system to satisfy the market's demand for quality. Whereas Norwegian salt fish producers are reluctant to cooperate with non-local institutions, external influences in the wine industry have provided market intelligence and scientific knowledge to winegrowers and wineries. Lindkvist K. B. et S�nchez J. L. Conventions et innovations: une comparaison entre deux industries exploitant des resources locales, Regional Studies . Cet article explorera le d�veloppement de nouvelles conventions dans deux industries exploitant des ressources naturelles, l'industrie norv�gienne du poisson sal� et l'industrie vinicole dans la r�gion espagnole de Castille et Leon. Une modeste innovation dans ce dernier secteur li�e a des conventions domestiques et industrielles contraste avec son succ�s. Les producteurs de vin ont adopte le syst�me d'Appellation d'Origine Contrôl�e (AOC) afin de satisfaire la demande de qualit� du marche. Alors que les producteurs de poissons sales norv�giens sont peu disposes a coop�rer avec des institutions autres que locales, les influences ext�rieures dans l'industrie du vin ont apporte une compr�hension du marche ainsi que des connaissances scientifiques aux producteurs et entreprises vinicoles.

Konventionen und Innovation: zwei auf ortsgebundenen nat�rlichen Ressourcen basierte Industrien im Vergleich, Regional Studies . Im vorliegenden Artikel wird die Entstehung neuer Konventionen in zwei auf nat�rlichen Ressourcen basierten Industriezweigen untersucht, der Salzfischindustrie in Norwegen sowie der Weinindustrie in Castilla y Le�n, Spanien. Wenig Innovation in ersterer, bedingt durch das Festhalten an bestehenden lokalen und industriellen Konventionen, steht im Gegensatz zum Erfolg letzterer. Die Weinerzeuger haben sich an das System gesch�tzter Ursprungsbezeichungen (g. U.) angeschlossen, um neuen Qualit�tsanspr�chen des Marktes gerecht zu werden. W�hrend die norwegischen Salzfischproduzenten nur zur�ckhaltend mit Institutionen außerhalb ihres lokalen Umfeldes kooperieren, haben Weinbauern und Kellereien durch branchenexterne Einfl�sse Market-Intelligence und wissenschaftliche Kenntnisse erworben.

Convenciones e innovaci�n: comparaci�n de dos sectores industriales concentrados y dependientes de los recursos naturales, Regional Studies . Este art�culo estudia el desarrollo de nuevas convenciones en el seno de dos industrias basadas en la transformaci�n de recursos naturales, la del pescado en salaz�n en Noruega y la del vino en la regi�n espa�ola de Castilla y Le�n. Las modestas innovaciones de la primera, muy vinculada a las convenciones dom�sticas e industriales, se contraponen con el �xito de la segunda. Los productores de vino han adoptado el sistema de la Denominaci�n de Origen Protegida (DOP) para satisfacer la demanda de calidad. Mientras, los procesadores noruegos de pescado en salaz�n son reacios a cooperar con instituciones no locales, las contribuciones externas han proporcionado conocimiento cient�fico y visi�n de mercado a los agentes del sector del vino, tanto viticultores como bodegas.
