Formation and dissolution of inter-firm linkages in lengthy and stable networks in clusters (2015, background): “Recent research reconciles the effect of structural mechanisms with the relevance of node attributes in the evolution of relationships (Balland et al., 2013; TerWal, 2013).”
Relatedness as driver of regional diversification: a research agenda (2017, unknown): “…to a closely tied core in a network (Crespo, Suire, & Vicente, 2014), or whether a network structure with strong relationships within cliques and structural holes between cliques favours more unrelated diversi ﬁ cation in regions (Balland, De Vaan, & Boschma, 2013; Fleming, King, & Juda, 2007).”
The Dynamics of Technical and Business Knowledge Networks in Industrial Clusters: Embeddedness, Status, or Proximity? (2016, background): “…networks, for instance by Giuliani (2013) on a knowledge network of a wine cluster in Chile, by Balland (2012) on R&D collaboration networks in Europe, by Ter Wal on invention networks in Germany (2014), and more recently by Balland et al. (2013) on the evolution of the global video games industry.”
The Complementary Effects of Proximity Dimensions on Knowledge Spillovers (2014, background): “Similarly, the focus on disaggregated sectors may enable to obtain more precise indicators to measure institutional, cognitive and organizational networks as in Balland et al. (2011) for the videogame industry.”
Entrepreneurship, innovation and regional growth: a network theory (2015, background): “…life cycle theory contends that firms will generally fit within one of three broad phases—fluid, transitional and mature— relating to the developmental stage of the industry within which they operate (Utterback and Abernathy 1975; Klepper 1997; Ter Wal and Boschma 2011; Balland et al. 2013).”
