Perspectives on Cluster Evolution: Critical Review and Future Research Issues (2015, background): “Clusters, understood as open, complex systems, are likely to evolve in a non-linear manner with multiple feedback mechanisms between actors within the cluster (Martin & Sunley, 2007) but also with actors outside the cluster.”
Innovation and regional economic resilience: an exploratory analysis (2018, background): “CAS thinking suggests that innovation is a critical adaptive behaviour in regional economies which consist of collections of agents who are continually learning and adapting to their environment even in the absence of major shocks and disturbances (Martin and Sunley 2007).”
Path Renewal in Old Industrial Regions: Possibilities and Limitations for Regional Innovation Policy (2015, background): “More recently this debate has gained further momentum through the evolutionary turn in economic geography (BOSCHMA and FRENKEN, 2006; BOSCHMA and MARTIN, 2010; ESSLETZBICHLER and RIGBY, 2007; MARTIN and SUNLEY, 2007).”
The complexity of innovation: A relational turn (2011, background): “Several approaches, based on studies that range from applying the evolutionary ideas of Schumpeter (Fagerberg, 2003) to recent contributions building on ideas of complexity thinking (Fonseca, 2002; Martin and Sunley, 2007), have been developed to understand why and how innovation does (or does not) ”
Economic crisis and regional resilience: detecting the‘geographical footprint’ of economic crisis in Greece (2014, background): “The ‘decomposition’ of the notion of regional resilience (Foster 2007; Martin and Sunley 2007; Bristow 2010; Longstaff et al. 2010), makes evident that regions should have: (i) diversity in the number of businesses, institutions and sources of energy and food (if outside suppliers are stopped from c”
The Technological Resilience of U.S. Cities (2014, background): “Third, the regional resilience literature has given little attention to the role of networks (Bristow et al., 2012; Bristow and Healey, 2014; Martin and Sunley, 2007; Pendall et al., 2010; Swanstrom et al., 2009).”
Regional Economic Resilience, Hysteresis and Recessionary Shocks (2012, background): “…their constituent components and elements, and an adaptive capacity that enables them to rearrange their internal structure spontaneously, whether in response to some external shock, or in reaction to some from internal emergent mechanisms or ‘selforganised criticality’ (Martin and Sunley, 2007).”
Towards an Evolutionary Perspective on Regional Resilience (2015, background): “emergence, self-organization, non-linear dynamics and co-evolution (MARTIN and SUNLEY, 2007; BRISTOW et al., 2012).”
Evolution in Economic Geography: Institutions, Political Economy, and Adaptation (2009, background): “The self-organization of the economic landscape represents another emerging theme in EEG (Boschma and Martin 2007; Martin and Sunley 2007).”
Entrepreneurial ecosystem elements (2019, background): “However, because of its inherent connectivity, nonlinearity and openness, a complex system affords limited functional decomposability (Martin and Sunley 2007), which suggests that the overall functioning of the entrepreneurial ecosystem cannot be deduced from knowledge of the function of i ts…”
A Network-based view of regional growth (2014, background): “Conversely, everything is not necessarily connected to everything else (Martin and Sunley, 2007), with the evolution of networks consisting of the processes whereby new nodes connect to existing nodes (Boschma and Frenken, 2006).”
The economic resilience of regions: towards an evolutionary approach (2010, background): “Complex adaptive systems are characterised by several key features (Martin and Sunley, 2007).”
