| Abstract
| districts specialised in traditional manufacturing industries evolve as a consequence of new
challenges linked to the globalization process. Using a multiple case study design, the study
examines the evolution of two fashion-led Italian districts: the Montebelluna sportswear system
and the Vibrata-Tordino-Vomano clothing district. Our findings reveal that cluster firms’
ability to shift from manufacturing to other activities providing higher returns along the global
value chain is key to understanding the effect of globalization and relocation processes on the
cluster’s long-term competitiveness. As illustrated in this study, weak learning districts are the
most threatened while innovative districts are able to enact a selective process of relocation,
substituting outplaced activities with more valuable ones and attracting inward investments.
The aim of this paper is to contribute to the debate about how, in advanced countries, industrial
districts specialised in traditional manufacturing industries evolve as a consequence of new
challenges linked to the globalization process. Using a multiple case study design, the study
examines the evolution of two fashion-led Italian districts: the Montebelluna sportswear system
and the Vibrata-Tordino-Vomano clothing district. Our findings reveal that cluster firms’
ability to shift from manufacturing to other activities providing higher returns along the global
value chain is key to understanding the effect of globalization and relocation processes on the
cluster’s long-term competitiveness. As illustrated in this study, weak learning districts are the
most threatened while innovative districts are able to enact a selective process of relocation,
substituting outplaced activities with more valuable ones and attracting inward investments.
