Abstract

This article questions the evidence for flexible specialisation and calls for a re-examination of the real conditions of industrial districts such as Third Italy and the notion of the flexible firm. Flexible specialisation is also challenged on its theoretical assumptions which are ahistorical in character and based on a false dichotomy between mass production versus craft paradigms.
