Industrial districts are changing: their firms struggle to compete in the global market, while their traditional local communities are displaced by younger generations of workers. This paper explores the characteristics of the community of knowledge workers in a Chilean wine cluster. It finds that the flow of knowledge in the district is driven by the reputation of knowledge workers and by their friendship. Implications for theory and practice are discussed.

Abstract
Industrial districts are changing: their firms struggle to compete in the global market, while their traditional local communities are displaced by younger generations of workers. This paper explores the characteristics of the community of knowledge workers in a Chilean wine cluster. It finds that the flow of knowledge in the district is driven by the reputation of knowledge workers and by their friendship. Implications for theory and practice are discussed.File in questo prodotto:
