Abstract

The objective of this paper is to contribute to a better understanding of cluster life-cycles through the case study of the Wine industry in Alentejo. This industry operates within the paradox of being highly regulated, while also being extremely sensitive to local traditions, to the interaction of tacit and symbolic knowledge, and to rapidly changing consumer tastes. It will therefore provide fertile ground to explore the interaction between entrepreneurship and innovation at the sub-national level, with the impact of regulation emanating from regional, national and European institutions. Adopting an evolutionary perspective, I will focus on key moments of change within this industry and explore their impact on the Cluster.
