Territorial dimensions and effects of the coopetitive networks of SMEs

Summary/Abstract: Overall purpose of this article is to scrutinize theoretically and empirically the relationship between local economic development and coopetitive networks of SMEs. This new aspect facilitates to understand more the driving force, core and automatisms of regional economic growth. By combining quantitative and qualitative methods the paper can provide insight into the process of regional economic growth. Of course, the dataset is analyzed and elaborated by the graph theory and its models. Despite this fact, I found, for the first time ever, three coopetitive networks of SMEs at nodal regional level. The results shows that there is significant close correlation between the SMEs networking and local/urban economic development, it can be proved by not only conceptually but also by empirically as well. The players of coopetitive networks have been able to cooperate each other within the framework of transportation and information distribution so as to they could reduce expenditures. Finally, the urbanization economies of scale and the localization economies of scale have been determined by the three coopetitive networks of SMEs.
