Regional advantage : culture and competition in Silicon Valley and Route 128
Why is it that business in Silicon Valley is again flourishing while along Route 128 in Massachusetts it continues to decline?

The result of more than 100 interviews, this analysis highlights the importance of local sources of competitive advantage in a volatile world economy.
