Title: The Herning-Ikast textile industry: an industrial district in West Jutland
Author: Illeris, Sven
Appeared in: Entrepreneurship & regional development
Paging: Volume 4 (1992) nr. 1 pages 73-84
Year: 1992-01
Contents: Theories on the emergence and functioning of industrial districts are discussed. It is stressed that networking between small firms is not only based on economic considerations, but also on social and cultural factors. The Herning-Ikast textile district in West Jutland is presented as a typical industrial district. Whereas the textile industry has been declining elsewhere, it is thriving here on the basis of entrepreneurship, flexibility, innovation and networking. Based on a questionnaire survey as well as on the findings of other researchers, these characteristics are highlighted.
