• A Network-based view of regional growth (2014, background): “…is growing evidence that inter-organisational networks are related to the innovation capabilities and growth of firms (Freel, 2000; Davenport, 2005; Knoben and Oerlemans, 2006; Knoben, 2009), with further evidence showing that the innovation performance of firms is significantly related to network…”
• Proximity and Innovation: From Statics to Dynamics (2015, background): “…started to develop a theoretical framework to understand the coordination of economic activities (BELLET et al., 1993; RALLET and TORRE, 1999; PECQUEUR and ZIMMERMAN, 2004; BOSCHMA, 2005; LAGENDIJK and OINAS, 2005; TORRE and RALLET, 2005; KNOBEN and OERLEMANS, 2006; BOUBA-OLGA and GROSSETTI, 2008).”
• Exploration and Exploitation in Innovation: Reframing the Interpretation (2008, methodology): “Third, the geographical dimension is usually tightly related to the institutional and cultural dimension (Knoben & Oerlemans, 2006).”
• Geographical and cognitive proximity effects on innovation performance in SMEs: a way through knowledge acquisition (2011, background): “Additionally, this research contributes to the theoretical distinction between cognitive and geographical proximity (Knoben and Oerlemans 2006).”
• Now, let's make it really complex (complicated): A systematic review of the complexities of projects (2011, background): “In the management field, there have been a number of articles in top ranking journals using such systematic reviews (Farashahi, et al., 2005; Knoben and Oerlemans, 2006; Pittaway, et al., 2004).”
• Knowledge flow and inter-firm networks: The influence of network resources, spatial proximity and firm size (2010, background): “There is growing evidence that inter-firm knowledge network development is related to the growth of firms (Freel 2000; Davenport 2005; Knoben and Oerlemans 2006).”
• How firms collaborate with public research organizations : The evolution of proximity dimensions in successful innovation projects (2016, background): “An emerging body of literature indicates that different dimensions of proximity play an important role in explaining inter-organizational collaborations (Knoben and Oerlemans, 2006) and facilitating interactions between firms and academia (Boschma, 2005, D'Este et al., 2012).”
