Abstract
This paper investigates the industrial competitiveness and FDI opportunities in the metropolitan periphery embedded in the product space network. Assessing the knowledge complexity and revealed competitive advantage (RCA) of local industries, entrepreneurs and policymakers can identify the most prominent ones and implement competitive strategy accordingly. Complementarily, they can attract FDI inflows in non-RCA structural hole sectors of close knowledge proximity with existing RCA sectors in the product space network. In the case study of Laval, Canada, we conduct quantitative product space network analysis and qualitative thematic analysis on the semi-structured interviews with entrepreneurs and policymakers to address these points.
Keywords:
- product space network,
- FDI,
- economic complexity,
- metropolitan periphery,
- structural hole
Résumé
Cet article étudie la compétitivité industrielle et les opportunités d’IDÉ dans la périphérie métropolitaine intégrée dans le réseau d’espace produit. Évaluant la complexité des connaissances et l’avantage comparatif révélé (ACR) des industries locales, les entrepreneurs et les décideurs politiques peuvent identifier les secteurs les plus importants et mettre en oeuvre une stratégie concurrentielle en conséquence. En complément, ils peuvent attirer des flux d’IDÉ dans les secteurs des trous structuraux à forte proximité de connaissances avec ceux d’ACR élevé dans le réseau d’espace produit. Dans l’étude de cas de Laval, Canada, nous effectuons une analyse quantitative du réseau d’espace produit et une analyse thématique qualitative des entretiens semi-structurés avec les entrepreneurs et les décideurs politiques pour adresser ces points.

Resumen
Este artículo investiga la competitividad industrial y las oportunidades de IED en la periferia metropolitana, integradas en la red del espacio de productos. Al evaluar la complejidad del conocimiento y la ventaja competitiva revelada (VCR) de las industrias locales, los empresarios y los responsables políticos pueden identificar las más destacadas y aplicar una estrategia competitiva en consecuencia. De forma complementaria, pueden atraer flujos de IED en sectores no VCR con agujero estructural de estrecha proximidad de conocimientos con VCR existentes en la red del espacio de productos. En el estudio de caso de Laval (Canadá), realizamos un análisis cuantitativo de la red del espacio de productos y un análisis temático cualitativo sobre las entrevistas semiestructuradas con empresarios y responsables políticos para abordar estos puntos.
Palabras clave:
- red de espacio de productos,
