The document discusses what drives prosperity according to Christian Ketels. It notes that many factors matter and there is no single solution, as what matters depends on a location's existing assets. Success is driven by building on unique strengths, not just fixing weaknesses. Effective policy requires understanding a place's specific context, focusing on areas of existing competitive advantage, and coordinated action across policy areas to strengthen clusters over time. Key challenges include developing new strengths, improving cluster data, and integrating cluster initiatives with broader economic policies.

Social Innovation Value Chain: Governance and Intermediaries by Javier Echeve...Social Innovation Exchange
Ìý
This document discusses social innovation and the plurality of stakeholders involved. It makes several key points:
1. Social innovation involves new ideas that meet social needs more effectively and create new social relationships. There are many stakeholders with different perspectives and values.
2. The diffusion of social innovations is often conflictual as it can create conflicts between stakeholders' interests and values. An innovation's consequences depend on many agents, not just the promoters.
3. Studies of social innovation should analyze disruptive processes led by social movements, not just organizations. This would provide a more comprehensive understanding of innovation processes and their unintended impacts.
