| Abstract: | The paper investigates how proximity affects Industrial District competitiveness. We adopt the complexity theory by analyzing
the influence of the proximity on the Industrial District adaptive capacity. Our argument in fact is that the more adaptive
the Industrial District, the more the competitive success. Based on the complexity theory, we identify the structural features
that allow Industrial District adaptation and their best values. Then, by developing a computational model based on the Systems
Dynamics, we conduct a simulation analysis to evaluate the influence of proximity on the values of Industrial District structural
features affecting its adaptive capacity. Results show that too much proximity is detrimental for the Industrial District
competitiveness. |
