Conventional and Reverse Knowledge Flows in Multinational Corporations† (2008, unknown): “They must integrate the transplanted knowledge with their locally existing knowledge (McCann & Mudambi, 2005).”
Global cities and multinational enterprise location strategy (2013, background): “…have begun to demonstrate how MNE strategies influence their foreign location decisions, there is little theoretical or empirical work on the influence of firm characteristics on the specific location choices of MNE subsidiaries (Beugelsdijk, McCann, & Mudambi, 2010; McCann & Mudambi, 2005).”
Physical attraction and the geography of knowledge sourcing in multinational enterprises (2011, background): “However, this diffusion has two components: local knowledge inflows, which the focal firm views positively, and local knowledge outflows, which it views negatively (McCann and Mudambi, 2005).”
Place, space, and geographical exposure: Foreign subsidiary survival in conflict zones (2013, unknown): “Even though colocation does not inherently lead to interaction (McCann & Mudambi, 2005), proximity has the potential to facilitate collective action.”
MNEs as border-crossing multi-location enterprises: The role of discontinuities in geographic space (2013, background): “In contrast, IB scholars' understanding of both place and space remains relatively underdeveloped, since these are primarily geographic concepts (Beugelsdijk, Mudambi, & McCann, 2010; McCann & Mudambi, 2005).”
Thriving innovation amidst manufacturing decline: the Detroit auto cluster and the resilience of local knowledge production (2015, background): “The literature has acknowledged that co-location within a cluster is not a sufficient condition for knowledge transfer (Maskell and Lorenzen, 2004; McCann and Mudambi, 2005): diffusion is highly selective.”
Innovation in and from emerging economies: New insights and lessons for international business research (2021, background): “…and economic sociology that have sought to identify the mechanisms that lead to different patterns of innovations, as well as the breakthrough and diffusion of new technologies and knowledge (Gordon & McCann, 2005; Henderson & Clark, 1990; Owen-Smith & Powell, 2004; Rosenkopf & Tushman, 1998).”
Zoom in, zoom out: Geographic scale and multinational activity (2018, background): “These latter costs have long been modeled using the iceberg model (Samuelson, 1954; McCann, 2005) wherein they increase monotonically with distance.”
Location, Control and Innovation in Knowledge-Intensive Industries (2008, background): “However, the interface between these two literatures is surprisingly thin (McCann and Mudambi, 2005).”
The impact of R&D offshoring on the home knowledge production of OECD investing regions (2012, background): “However, more recent economic geography literature has recognized that the spatial behaviour of MNEs has significant implications for regional and local development due to the sheer scale of FDI (McCann and Mudambi, 2005).”
