• Technological Collaboration: Bridging the Innovation Gap between Small and Large Firms** (2010, neutral): “In addition, SMEs that collaborate with large firms are faced with problems of asymmetry and unequal power balance (Blomqvist, Hurmelinna, and Seppänen 2005).”
• Social capital configuration, legal bonds and performance in buyer–supplier relationships (2011, neutral): “Improving aspects of innovation performance such as product and process design, and manufacturing flexibility, mean that more tacit, and organization-specific information has to be shared between buyers and suppliers, which requires trust (Blomqvist, Hurmelinna and Seppanen, 2005).”
• Coping with Problems of Understanding in Interorganizational Relationships: Using Formalization as a Means to Make Sense (2006, background): “them to create common ground and achieve mutual understanding (Blomqvist et al. 2005; McGinn and Keros 2002; Ring and Van de Ven 1989 1994).”
• Managing knowledge leakage in strategic alliances: The effects of trust and formal contracts (2013, background): “Therefore, formal contracts prevent deliberate imitation and protect private knowledge (Blomqvist et al., 2005).”
