Introduction: Clusters in Urban and Regional Development (2004, background): “…of tacit knowledge has, however, been challenged by critics of clusters and learning regions who argue that such knowledge can also be transmitted through organisational and relational linkages between spatially distant actors (Amin and Cohandet, 1999; Bunnell and Coe, 2001; Gertler, 2001).”
Building global knowledge pipelines: The role of temporary clusters (2006, background): “The establishment and management of global pipelines entail considerable uncertainties and high investments, not least because of differences in the cultural and institutional contexts in which the firms operate (Schoenberger, 1997; Gertler, 2001; Coe & Bunnell, 2003; Morgan, 2004).”
The Firm in Economic Geography* (2001, background): “Taking the competence view of the firm to the aggregate level of the locality, one sees that the capabilities of some areas are evidently more predisposed than others to support the creation of special types of knowledge by establishing a specific “culture” with routines and conventions that make th”

Temporary Clusters and Knowledge Creation: The Effects of International Trade Fairs, Conventions and Other Professional Gatherings (2004, background): “It is no simple task to establish a trans-local relationship, as the cultural and institutional contexts in which firms operate can be rather different (e.g. Schoenberger 1997, Gertler 2001, Morgan 2004).”
