Abstract

 
 
 In the field of industrial production, the concept of regionalising economic activities (e.g. by exploiting the scope to close material cycles) offers great potential as a means of supporting sustainable macro-economic development; nonetheless, this potential tends to be ignored. The explanation for this is to be found in the myriad barriers which exist. Thus the main object of this article is to identify in a systematic fashion the personal, intra-organisational, inter-organisational and structural barriers which impede regionalisation in the field of industrial production; this identification is based on a systematic analytical raster transferable to materially related questions. Based on the analysis of the obstacles thus identified, it is then possible to identify from the perspective of industry the areas which need to be given priority status as the focus of measures to support the realisation of concepts of regional economy. This study draws on the results of a survey of 25 representatives of industry conducted as part of a research project supported by the Federal Ministry for Education and Research (the BMBF).
