Funded Activity Summary

Ways to Growth: Auditing and Encouraging Industry Innovation Capacity and Employment Growth in South-West Sydney Region. Uneven economic opportunities across regions have long concerned local and regional policymakers but policy results have remained limited. The four major strands of regional and local analytical work and policy focus (inwards attraction, focus on small local firms, innovation systems, clusters, networks) have not been combined in analysis of particular geographic spaces. The doctoral study proposed here is an innovative audit of economic activity in Liverpool City and the southwest region of Sydney to test ways in which the elements of economic growth identified in the four literatures interact. The aim is developing both better analytical tools and policy interventions.
