Local development practices take different dimensions and meanings, either as a new local policy, or as a new economic paradigm. Geographical indication (GI) refers to the characteristics associated with the product, producer, and market specification. In order to go beyond the economic analysis related to GI, we seek to understand how the formation of a path of innovation occurs in specific regions of the State of Minas Gerais. In this scenario, it aims at advancing studies by Maiorki and Dallabrida (2015) and Mcgahan and Stein (2018). This is a comparative descriptive study in two cheese-producing areas in the state of Minas Gerais. The certification of indication of origin in Serro and Canastra favored the competitiveness of products in the most demanding markets, however, we must consider that not all producers are interested in meeting the requirements of certifications. Based on this study, new analyses on IG in Brazil are suggested. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The objective of this study is investigating the Local Productive Arrangement (LPA) of Clothing in Espinosa -- Minas Gerais State and its impact on boosting the region's economy. The method took into consideration secondary data about the region and mainly primary data obtained from field research and semi-structured interviews with company managers and representatives of the Government, Consultancies and Institutions directly or indirectly involved in the governance of the Arrangement. The research has a qualitative nature based on the analysis of the information collected. The results point to a rich experience in relationships and cooperation between companies and the main links that participate in the production process. The LPA of Clothing, as it is known, is located in the far north of Minas Gerais State, a semi-arid region far from the major industrial and commercial centers in Brazil, so that, through local initiative, it has developed an unexpected trajectory. It has a notorious impact on the regional economy, creates jobs, distributes income, generates knowledge, forms manpower, and givesstability and dignity to people in the region. However, there are still some weaknesses in collective actions and forms of institutional cooperation that need to be improved with the involvement of all agents that constitute the LPA's governance.

Assuming that there is a necessary relationship between economic development, social development and communication, this paper exposes partial results of empirical research, which aimed at analyzing the discourses (ORLANDI, 2010; MAINGUENEAU, 1997) of business leaders on communication, strategy and development. The research aimed to understand the phenomenon of how communication strategies and their consequences for development manifest themselves in the minds of managers of private organizations in Divinópolis, a city in the Midwest region of Minas Gerais, and how communication processes are understood in a scenario - historical but also market - in which communication is taken, albeit diffusely, as a central element for organizations. The speech reveals the imaginary that can lead to the reverse of regional development. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
