Focusing on the effectiveness of network structures in enhancing regional transformation, this book delves into the non-pecuniary factors influencing growth in EU regions. It examines the characteristics of a networking economy and evaluates EU policies on regional development and innovation. The empirical analysis employs various interdisciplinary methodologies, including Data Envelopment Analysis, K-means models, and self-organizing maps, to support its findings and contribute to the understanding of regional cohesion within the EU.
