In the fourth century Christian monasticism left the anchoritic lifestyle to begin a new monastic organization. These religious communities not only show us an architecture ruled by a monastic life, but also reveals some impressive hydraulic systems occasionally reflected in valuable drawings.
Flow (being in the zone) is purported to have positive consequences in terms of affect and performance; however, there is no empirical evidence about these links in visual creativity. Positive affect often-but inconsistently-facilitates creativity, and both may be linked to experiencing flow. This study aimed to determine relationships between thes...

Structural-geological characteristics of
Adjara-Trialeti Gujareti-Khachkovi ore fi eld is reviewed
in the annotation work. The ore fi eld is tectonically highly
complicated, and various types dysunctives and fractures are
observed. According to opening quality the following
take place at the investigation territory: invisible, closed
, and open type fractures. Exactly the mentioned type
fractures represent environment convenient for oreingdown. According to oreing-down intensity, two units are
selected now within the ore fi eld areas: Gujareti – to West
and Khachkovi (Tskarostavi) – to East, which are spatially
isolated from each other by less mineralized uplift block
of Tarsoni.
Considering the geological structure of the region, in
particular, magmatism and disjunctive structure characters,
convenient conditions are made for magmatic systems
within ore fi eld areas. In particular, in the adjacent line of
Arjevani-Bakuriani fault, all conditions for establishing
hydrothermal zones are made. Orthogenetic origin
hydrothermal as well as meteoric waters may take part in
ore production; they make metal extraction from containing
rocks. In our opinion, active contamination of fluids
and meteoric waters might take place, resulting in which
Gujareti-Khachkovi ore fi eld was formed.
... Many economists argue for years that the specific regions are the real engines of economic growth and innovation, particularly those which are rich of mature clusters (Ketels & Protsiv, 2013;Runiewicz-Wardyn, 2013). This is also the case of wine producing regions. ...
... an uneven path of development with an enormous growth in 2011 and a monumental drop in 2012 and 2017; BMWCwas the only cluster which maintained a stable production level around 11.000 tons and in 2017 it overtook Chianti production. The Consortium of Brunello di Montalcino -in fact a cluster organization -was founded in 1967 11 . Over those years, the number of wineries members grew including small and large businesses, with common objectives and rules to offer the best quality wine in sustainable way. ...
The goal of the thesis is to assess the best of three Tuscan wine clusters-the Brunello di Montalcino wine cluster (BMWC), as a potential role-model for the emerging clusters by analysing the role of social capital in cluster integration and in building its competitive advantage. By considering Banfi S.p.a as the leading firm of the cluster, it will be shown how investing in strengthening relations with other wine producers and with organizations operating in Tuscany region leads to high performance of this regional cluster.. The research should give a general outlook of Italian wine industry and it will present the specific characteristics of BMWC. In collecting data, it has been used both qualitative sources-mainly interviews with entrepreneurs and managers of the cluster's members-and quantitative sources from Italian and EU comparative statistics regarding wine industry. In order to meet goal and objectives of the thesis, the author formulated four hypothesises followed by five questions. The main core of methodology comes from Michael Porter's concepts of Diamond of Competitiveness and Five Competitive Forces Analysis, supplemented by John Elkington's Triple-bottom-line model and Jon Hawkes Fourth Pillar of Sustainability. These methodological concepts will be applied in the Tuscany region where BMWC operates along with two other wine clusters-Chianti and Chianti Classic. The final conclusions should prove the viability of cluster organizations as the venue supporting both-individual members and the whole cluster-in implementing strategies leading to business and community sustainability.

Innovationen gelten seit vielen Jahren als Schlüssel für wirtschaftlichen Fortschritt
und breiten Wohlstand. Forschung und Entwicklung ist ein wichtiges Element im Rahmen
eines Innovationsprozesses. Gleichzeitig zeigt der Clusteransatz, dass die Nähe von Unternehmen sich positive auf die Innovations- und Wettbewerbsfähigkeit auswirkt.
Gleichzeitig fehlt aber bis heute der eindeutige, quantitative Nachweis, dass Unternehmen, die in einem bestimmten Raum gemeinsam agieren, erfolgreicher Forschung und Entwicklung betreiben als Unternehmen, die räumlich getrennt agieren.
Ob und wie sich die regionale Nähe von Partnern positiv auf den Erfolg des kollaborativen
FuE-Prozesses auswirkt, konnte im Rahmen der Evaluierung des österreichischen Sicherheitsforschungsprogramms KIRAS2 analysiert werden, da hier alle notwendigen Daten zur Verfügung standen. Die folgende Studie zeigt quantitative, wie sich räumliche Nähe von Unternehmen positiv auf die Qualität von FuE-Projekten auswirkt.
... At the macroeconomic level, the empirical literature generally establishes a close and positive relationship between clusters and job creation and economic growth (see e.g. Glaeser et al., 1992;Martin and Ottaviano, 1999;Martin, 1999;Riou, 2003;Ketels and Protsiv, 2013;Pires et al., 2013;Delgado et al., 2010Delgado et al., , 2014Mattoon and Wang, 2014;Slaper and Ortuzar, 2015). Studies argue that regional inequalities of growth of countries can be attributed to these forms of localised industrial organisation. ...

... Vergne and Durand also introduce a formal definition of path dependence distinguishing between path dependence and other 'history matters' kinds of mechanisms, linking cases of path dependence to stochastic processes, contingency events, self-reinforcing mechanisms and lock-in (Vergne & Durand, 2010, p. 741).Garud et al. (2010)systematically discuss and reject Vergne and Durand, opening the space for a discussion of path creation mechanisms. It must be admitted that the process they describe as path creation (Garud et al., 2010;Karnøe & Garud, 2012) very much overlaps with entrepreneurship research (Casson, 1982;Schumpeter, 1983) and works on the social networks of entrepreneurs (Aldrich & Zimmer, 1986;Jarillo, 1988) as well as the idea of cluster formation (Kärcher-Vital, 2002;Porter, 1998), which Ketels and Protsiv (Ketels & Protsiv, 2013) empirically apply to sustainable development. ...
Many works in innovation research use path dependencies to explain the fact that change is often difficult to achieve. With regard to a transition to a Green Economy, this paper identifies specific path dependencies in 15 areas of transformation in the sectors of mobility, food, housing and raw material in Germany. In total, 30 subtypes of technological, economical, organizational, user-specific and legal path dependencies were identified and included in the analysis. One of the overarching observations is that for a successful transition to a Green Economy, the role of the state seems to be central. In many areas of transition, supposedly transformative regulation is full of loopholes and does not work, as special interest lobbying prevents the democratic implementation of effective, path-changing regulation.
... Over the last decade cluster mapping efforts in line with the approach outlined above have been launched in a range of countries, the United States and the countries of the European Union are the most visible ones. These efforts have generated a number of important insights on economic geography in the modern economy that underline the value of cluster mapping ( Delgado et al., 2010Delgado et al., , 2014Spencer et al., 2010;Ketels/Protsiv, 2013). They have also generated a number of analytical instruments and categories that can be applied by other locations that engage in cluster mapping. ...
... Regional competitiveness, often understood almost exclusively in relation to the role of clusters, competes with other 'systemic' frameworks, for example regional innovation systems (Asheim/Gertler, 2004). The literature also suggests a range of more narrow aspects of business environment quality as drivers of regional economic performance, including the strength of social capital, the opportunities for growth inherited through the existing set of industries, the presence of specific skills, the presence of clusters, the neighbors that a location is exposed to, and the quality of public institutions (Rodr?guez?Pose/Storper, 2006;Neffke et al., 2011;Martin et al., 2015;Florida, 2012;Hanushek et al., 2015;Ketels/Protsiv, 2013;Delgado et al., 2014;Muro et al., 2015;Dettori et al., 2010;Rodr?guez?Pose/Crescenzi, 2008;Rodr?guez?Pose/Garcilazo, 2015). These contributions provided insights into what policies could enhance regional competitiveness. ...
The role of regions in competitiveness has achieved increasing attention in recent years as economic research has increasingly paid more attention to the forces of economic geography. This chapter aims to explore what this new context implies for the role of regional governments. It is motivated by a concern that regional policy is facing an ‘implementation gap’. The chapter first reviews the relevant literature on regional economies, regional policy and the role of regions in government. Based on this discussion, it then proposes a new way to look at the role of regional government, focusing on specific functions and the different but often complementary roles that different levels of government play.
... The existence of norms, nonattendance of corruption, confidence within institutions are generally approved as factors of readiness and growth for transition economies. The relevance of clusters for competitiveness has been explored by Porter (1990Porter ( , 2004Porter ( , 2008), Ketels (2006), and Ketels & Protsiv (2013). In the explanation of transition to an immediate path of growth, the effectiveness of the social chain to intensify the productive facilities of an economy becomes extremely significant. ...
Though construction projects undertaken in developing countries are aimed at socio-economic growth, the benefits cannot be realized without carefully considering project stakeholders management for successful delivery. This study identified and evaluated Critical Success Factors CSFs as part of a broader study aimed at “Developing Sustainable Stakeholder Management Framework for Developing Countries”. An exploratory, qualitative survey was adopted. A questionnaire survey was used to validate 35 CSFs identified from the literature reviewed and Relative Importance Index for analysis. Early stakeholders’ identification; managing culture and political environment; communication; project managers’ competence; formal stakeholder management process was highly ranked. Five groups were also confirmed. The study contributes to the body of knowledge by validating CFSs for the Ghanaian construction industry.
... -10 -2014A; Ketels -Protsiv, 2013), others point toward poor cost-benefit relations (McDonald et al., 2007;Yu -Jackson, 2011). There is also evidence that clusters which build on existing strengths with respect to regional economic structure are more successful than others (Duranton, 2011;Martin -Sunley, 2011;Delgado et al., 2014B). ...
The term “competitiveness” has been used in conceptually distinct ways at the firm, regional and national levels. After primarily reviewing existing concepts at the national level, we introduce a new definition of regional competitiveness adapting definitions used in the academic literature. Specifically, we connect “outcome competitiveness” with new perspectives on a more socially inclusive and ecologically sustainable growth path, as envisaged in the WWWforEurope research program, in which 33 European research groups are taking part. Evaluating competitiveness requires both an input assessment (costs, productivity, economic structure, capabilities) and an outcome assessment. We define regional outcome competitiveness as the ability of a region to deliver Beyond GDP goals. For regions in industrialized countries, this ability depends on innovation, education, institutions, social cohesion and ecological ambition. Given this new perspective (of broader Beyond GDP goals), social investments and ecological ambitions should not be considered costs, but rather drivers of competitiveness. This is compatible with a new innovation policy fostering non-technical innovations and a new industrial policy supporting societal goals. Applying this concept to European regions, we show which regions take the "high road" to competitiveness and compare our results with the existing literature.
