In this paper, the focus is on understanding how radical innovations occur in Marshallian industrial districts (MIDs), a phenomenon mostly overlooked. Using an exploratory and in-dept longitudinal case study methodoloty in two European MIDs, this paper analyzes radical innovation in MIDs and finds that the introduction of technology-distant knowledge and new firms from different (to the focal) industries are both necessary mechanisms, but not sufficient. Access to leading incumbents' networks, based on social norms, becomes a crucial social factor necessary for radical innovation to occur in MIDs.Reserva de todos los derechosRadical innovationIndustrial districtsCeramic tile industryInkjetORGANIZACION DE EMPRESASArtículo10.1080/00343404.2017.1390311Abierto
