Globalization and the reinassance of manufacturing • A taxonomy for SMEs • A new approach to industrial policy • The policy experience of ER • Final remarks: risks and opportunities for European SMEs I P E T
The world crisis is not only the dramatic effect of the financial collapse, but it is the structural readjustment after the end of Bilateral Equilibrium and starting of Globalisation (IMF data; IMF Data Mapper Jan 2013)
Adam Smith • “As it is the power of exchanging that gives occasion to the division oflabour, so the extent of this division must always be limited by the extent of that power, or, in other words, by the extent of themarket” (WN, I,3, p.40)
“The greatest improvement in the productive powers of labour, and the greater part of the skill, dextery, and judgement, …seem to have been the effects of the division of labour” (WN, I, I, p.13) The Wealth of Nations, today
Changes in the Extent of the market require changes in Organization of production A Reinassance of Manufacturing, because Manufacture still drives innovation, export and growth Manufacture today and in the future is the capacity to networking different, specialized, complementary assets, technologies and competences
Division of labour: the organization of production Mass production capital distribution labour Final transf. primary Source s intermediate Raw materials

World-wide industrial reorganization: • Delocalization of specific production from a country to another country • World-wide unbundling of the entire production cycle • - De-linking of service and manufacturing steps
the present attention to Manufacturing Reinassance is the evidence that De-linking manufacturing and service steps of production involves the risk of: - loosing the control of production cycle • loosing capabilities to transform innovation into production • loosing the capacity to accumulate knowledge and competences of production
CRISIS: Countries reacted differently to the change in the extent of the market determined by globalization R&S, Multinationals: financial aggregates, 376 companies, milan 2012

Europe can win the present global challenge only involving the human, technological, productive capacities of all European SMEs The Wealth of Nations, skills, dextery and judgements
The word “SME” refers to very different kinds of economic actors, like Rural family activities High tech specialties producers Service providers Component producers inside a local network Subcontractors of multinationals
Industrial efficiency stems from • Specialization of individual activity • Complementarity of collective action
A taxonomy based on Using 2 variables • x = complementarity • y = specialization • We have 4 different groups of companies requiring different policy approaches
A taxonomy based on Using 2 variables x = complementarity y = specialization We have 4 different groups of companies requiring different policy approaches
A .low spec., low compl. (surviving companies) • B. low spec., high compl. (local network) • C. high spec., low compl. (speciality subcontractor) • D. high spec., high compl. (dynamic networks)
specialization C. high spec., low compl. (speciality subcontractor D. high spec., high compl. (dynamic networks) A .low spec., low compl. (surviving companies B. low spec., high compl. (local network complementarity
Different strategies from low spec/low compl. to high spec / high compl.
spec compl From surviving Smes to dynamic networks
spec compl Investing on subcontractors to move towards dynamic network
spec compl Supporting local networks to become dynamic networks
Impact of web on Smes Deepening specialization possibilities Widening complementarity opportunities
A strategy for increasing added value and the efficiency of the production system requires a basic infrastructure for increasing human capital training and mobility To transform possibilities and opportunities in Production organizations adequate to the New extent of the global market
Entrepreneur training goals • Adopting the technologies more relevant for our country in our times • - understanding of the complexity of present world and the relation between the needs of our country and the dynamics of world ecoonomy • - Consolidation of the social intangible capital
Rethinking industrial policies for SMEs means to create a positive environment for growth In this context it is necessary to combine different set of policies, according to the different SMEs typology and the policy strategy adopted by the government
The recent debate on development and the experiences of European policy making have stressed two basic concepts to analyse economic dynamics and structural change INNOVATION TERRITORY
These two concepts are necessary but not sufficient to define the new idea of development We introduce the two concepts of ENTITLEMENTS and PROVISIONS ENTITLEMENTS PROVISIONS
innovation entitlements provisions territory
Human capital policies Innovation policies Innovation entitlements provisions regional policies Social policies territory
Provisions Human Capital Policies Innovation Policies Innovation Entitlements Social Policies Territorial Policies

4) In all cases we need proper Educ.Policies 3) In case B we can start from Tech.policy 2) In the cases B and D we can start from Territorial policy 1 ) In the case A we start from Social policy
High-tech spin off companies Enterprises responding social needs Companies innovating local networks Reinventing traditional jobs
to increase the added value and the efficiency of the entire productive system • we need to provide an intelligent infrastructure devoted • to raise specialization and complementarity among the actors • to strengthen human and social capital • to improve individual and collective entrepreneurship
