Measuring the impact of innovative human capital on small firms' propensity to innovate (2015, background): “Evidence from the literature shows that while the region in which the firm is located impacts on innovation performance (Fitjar and Rodriguez-Pose, 2011), location may also effect innovation inputs (Sternberg and Arndt, 2001).”
Knowledge Networks and Innovative Performance in an Industrial District: The Case of a Footwear District in the South of Italy (2007, background): “By contrast, empirical studies often show that firms value internal knowledge creation as a more important source of knowledge for innovation than external relationships (e.g. Sternberg & Arndt, 2001; Weterings, 2005).”
Collaboration Intensity and Regional Innovation Efficiency in Germany—A Conditional Efficiency Approach (2012, result): “The study thereby confirms firm-level findings by Arndt and Sternberg (2000), but contrasts results by Sternberg and Arndt (2001), Fritsch (2004) and Oerlemans and Meeus (2005).”
What Kind of Entrepreneurship Drives Regional Development in European Non-core Regions? A Literature Review on Empirical Entrepreneurship Research (2013, background): “In general, successful regional innovation systems (Cooke, 2004; Doloreux et al., 2007) build on innovating enterprises (Sternberg & Arndt, 2001).”
Knowledge networks in the Dutch aviation industry: The proximity paradox (2012, background): “As common in innovation studies (see, e.g., Sternberg and Arndt, 2001), we approximate the innovative performance of firms by means of the share of significantly improved products / processes on a firm’s turnover (INN).”
Types of innovation, sources of information and performance in entrepreneurial SMEs (2010, background): “Similarly, Sternberg and Arndt (2001) argue that although the characteristics of the external environment can have an influence on the innovative behaviour of firms, they can never be more important than the firms’ internal competences.”
How does labour mobility affect the performance of plants? The importance of relatedness and geographical proximity (2008, background): “Before assessing the relative importance of these different types of external knowledge though, we need to assess the impact of intra-firm learning on firm performance (Maskell, 2001; Sternberg and Arndt, 2001).”
Social Networks: Effects of Social Capital on Firm Innovation* (2010, background): “For instance, Sternberg and Arndt (2001) found evidence that firm-specific determining factors for innovation were more important than either region-specific or external factors.”
Does urban form matter for innovation productivity? A national multi-level study of the association between neighbourhood innovation capacity and urban sprawl (2019, background): “The proximity or, to use a broader term, ‘accessibility’ of industries, business services and anchor institutions is a driving force for innovation (Blind and Grupp, 1999; Sternberg and Arndt, 2001).”
Innovation, Collaboration, and Learning in Regional Clusters: A Study of SMEs in the Aberdeen Oil Complex (2003, background): “More recently, however, a number of authors have pointed to the importance of these in supporting innovation amongst SMEs (Freel, 2000; Kaufman and Todtling, 2000; North and Smallbone 2000; Sternberg and Arndt, 2001), and theoretical debates have focused on relational networks that stretch across di”
The Regional Environment and a Firm’s Innovative Performance: A Plea for a Multilevel Interactionist Approach (2007, background): “Although the variance at the higher level was more limited than has been found in multiregional multicountry studies (Sternberg and Arndt 2001; Fritsch 2004), I know that potential regional level effects are not caused by country-level factors, conflating regionand country-specific effects.”
Territorial servitization: Exploring the virtuous circle connecting knowledge-intensive services and new manufacturing businesses (2017, background): “At the territorial level, Sternberg & Arndt (2001) reported that the innovation behavior of European firms is positively related to the performance of regional economic structures.”
Innovation in Regions (2007, background): “Innovation is one variable that is discussed as a factor influencing regional performance and growth (see Baumol, 2003 ; Bottazzim & Peri, 2003 ; Sternberg & Arndt, 2001 ).”
