Abstract

The analysis of the geographical environment approach was developed from the work by Marshall (1890) and that of Becattini (1979, 2002, 2006) which, rather than emphasising the industry — the industrial environment — highlight the industrial district and clusters. Evidence of the interest in the study of the geographical environment and clusters is provided by the many books published by economists and sociologists, and by business scholars (Becattini 2002; Porter 1990; Pyke and Sengenberger 1992; Saxenian 1994; Steiner 1998; Van Dijk and Rabellotti 1997; Weiss 1988), in addition to the publications of national and international organisms on the subject (Observatory of European SMEs 2002; OCED 1996, 1999, 2001; UNIDO 2001; World Bank 2000).
