Knowledge flow and inter-firm networks: The influence of network resources, spatial proximity and firm size (2010, background): “For instance, without effective network management knowledge may flow more freely out of a firm than productively into it (Teece 1998 ; Fleming, King, and Juda 2007 ).”
Entrepreneurship, innovation and regional growth: a network theory (2015, background): “…capital and the knowledge filter is vital with regard to ensuring that knowledge flows are effectively managed, as outlined by Proposition 5 (Fleming et al. 2007; Lichtenthaler 2005; Teece 1998), as well as ensuring the permeability of the knowledge filter and sufficient safeguards against…”
The Role of External Linkages and Gatekeepers for the Renewal and Expansion of US Cities' Knowledge Base, 1990–2004 (2015, methodology): “Following STRUMSKY et al. (2012) and FLEMING et al. (2007b), patents were classified at the group level, as it corresponds to the lowest hierarchical level in the International Patent Classification (IPC) adopted at the EPO.”
Spatial Science and Network Science: Review and Outcomes of a Complex Relationship (2014, background): “If physicists, computer scientists, but also other disciplines (see Davis et al., 2003; Fleming et al., 2007), integrate more and more space in their network studies, how have geographers integrated these new models and measures?”
Innovation At and Across Multiple Levels of Analysis (2007, background): “In "Small Worlds and Regional Innovation," Fleming et al. (2007) note the importance of innovation for both firm productiv ity and subsequent, economic growth within a given region (Solow 1957).”
Inventor Networks in Renewable Energies: The Influence of the Policy Mix in Germany (2016, methodology): “The technology specific networks are constructed using 3-year moving windows to account for persistence, while also allowing for decay of the linkages (Fleming et al., 2007; Schilling and Phelps, 2007).”
Network Capital, Social Capital and Knowledge Flow: How the Nature of Inter-organizational Networks Impacts on Innovation (2012, background): “For instance, without effective network management, knowledge may flow more freely out of a firm than productively into it (Teece, 1998; Fleming et al., 2007).”
Gatekeepers in regional networks of innovators (2007, positive): “We interpret the linkages (inventors) between the nodes (innovators) as possible channels of knowledge transmission ( Fleming et al., 2006 ).”
The Technological Resilience of U.S. Cities (2014, background): “What seems to matter for regional resilience is the internal structure of a region’s knowledge network (Fleming et al. 2007; Vicente et al. 2011; Balland et al. 2013; Crespo et al. 2013), the connectivity and openness of a region’s networks to knowledge developed elsewhere (Asheim and Isaksen 2002; ”
Substitution or Overlap? The Relations between Geographical and Non-spatial Proximity Dimensions in Collaborative Innovation Projects (2015, background): “The importance of such distanciated collaboration is now frequently emphasized (AMIN andCOHENDET, 2004; BELL and ZAHEER, 2007; FLEMING et al., 2007) and it is suggested that it is inadequate to view interactions at a particular spatial scale as the key determinant of innovativeness (BUNNELL and COE,”
Recruiting for Ideas: How Firms Exploit the Prior Inventions of New Hires (2010, positive): “…obility on knowledge transfer, it is worth noting that mobility also influences the structure of interpersonal networks within and across firms, which in turn play an important role in further shaping knowledge diffusion patterns (Singh 2005, Fleming et al. 2007, Breschi and Lissoni 2009).”
Mobility, Skills, and the Michigan Non-Compete Experiment (2009, methodology): “Predictor variables for both were state populations, land in square miles, GDP, number of proprietors, personal income, and total employment, gathered from the Statistical Abstract of the United States (http://www.census.gov/compendia/statab/) and the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis…”
Networks, Propinquity, and Innovation in Knowledge-intensive Industries (2009, background): “The interfi rm mobility of engineers and scientists is a key source of advantage for regions (Casper, 2007; Fleming, King, and Juda, 2007) as well as companies (Almeida and Kogut, 1999; Song, Almeida, and Wu, 2003).”
