Seeing the Forest–Communities–Trees: Exploring the Impact of Industry Agglomerations on Technological Innovations and Firm Performance within Ecosystems

Journal of Management Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract Drawing on agglomeration theory, embeddedness theory, and the community assembly metaphor, this study examines how regional industrial ecosystems (RIEs) shape firm performance in China's manufacturing sector. Using longitudinal data on 1012 listed manufacturing firms across China between 2008 and 2019, we combine input–output analysis with ...

A Spatial Clustering Approach of Economic Activities: An Application to the Agribusiness Sector in Brazil's Midwest Region

Geographical Analysis, Volume 58, Issue 4, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The spatial distribution of economic activities is central to regional economics. However, empirical tools for comparing industries based on the similarity of their spatial distributions remain limited. Traditional cluster analysis typically ignores geographical distance and connectivity, while spatial methods focus on clustering places rather

Structural characterization and optimum machining parameters of jute/carbon fibre hybrid reinforced epoxy composite laminates

Polymer International, Volume 75, Issue 9, Page 804-817, September 2026.
Hybrid jute/carbon epoxy laminates have better mechanical performance and less drilling damage by the use of optimized stacking sequence and machining parameters. Abstract Three composite laminate systems were produced using the standard hand lay‐up method: jute‐fibre‐reinforced polymer (JFRP), carbon‐fibre‐reinforced polymer (CFRP) and a hybrid of the
