To the extent that there will be a global transition to greener
economy, different clusters of institutions will assume different
roles. They will specialize in different aspects of the green economy
based on their different sets of assets and capabilities. The purpose
of the PDW will be to better formulate questions about the green
economy based on the existing literature. Here are some of the
questions that will be considered in the workshop: � How do newly
organizing industrial ecosystems, like those in green technology, gain
momentum? � How do they structure themselves? � How do the different
segments/fields within these ecosystems evolve in early stage/nascent
markets? � How do the players rely on each other to manage and deal
with the ambiguities, the risk, and the uncertainty? � What are the
characteristics of the different sub-industries and niches associated
with the green economy? � What are the key policy components in
various countries? � What is 'new' about cleantech and cleantech
clusters? � What kind of 'liability of newness' characterizes the
industry? � How do global division of tasks and specialization
influence the evolution of clean tech as an emerging field? � How
geographical and ecological characteristics promote or impede the
evolutionary path of this field and specialization within it?
