Case Studies, ‘Appreciative’ Theorizing and the Dynamic of Industrial Policy
Keywords:
Appreciative Theorization, Social Change, Technological Capabilities Accumulated, Salmon IndustryAbstract
This article is an exercise in 'appreciative theorization' in the sense of building an analytically wellfounded narrative of social change. This approach is considered in several studies examining the 'evolutionary history' of firms, corporations, or entire branches of industry. The macroeconomic situation is taken into account, but it does not play a leading role; it highlights many microeconomic and institutional aspects related to the technological capabilities accumulated by agents, as well as changes experienced by institutions over time. Reference will be made to the evolution of Chilean salmon industry to exemplify the dynamics experienced by firms, suppliers, regulatory agencies, and local communities; such changes allow to recreate behaviors and establish new styles of relationship. It will be stressed that at each stage of the development of an industry different public goods and institutions are required and that an adequate design of sectoral productive development policy must address these needs.
Keywords: appreciative theorization, social change, technological capabilities accumulated, salmon industry.
