Synopsis and Contents

Este libro se centra en la competitividad como elemento del desarrollo económico local, desde la convicción de que a nivel local y regional algunos de los problemas del subdesarrollo pueden ser combatidos desde la definición de una estrategia basada en el enfoque de lo "glocal": PENSAR GLOBAL, ACTUAL LOCAL. Lo GLOCAL (pensar global, actual local) se refiere a que lo macro se puede alcanzar a través de lo micro. En este libro se muestra cómo es posible formar parte de la Globalización sin perder la identidad económica de lo Local. Se muestra un modelo económico original de la Competitividad Local y se presentan los principales instrumentos para la medición de la competitividad. Este modelo está basado en la creencia de que para sobrevivir en el entorno global hay que adaptar los sistemas productivos locales, a cambio de que las personas puedan aspirar a mejores condiciones de vida. La creación de clusters productivos es una imperiosa estrategia para el logro de la Competitividad y el Desarrollo Local. En este libro se muestran los principales modelos de encadenamientos productivos y el éxito que éstos han tenido en experiencias locales en todo el mundo.
