Horizontal and Vertical Relationships in Developing Economies: Implications for SMEs' Access to Global Markets (2008, background): “Given the complex interfirm interdependencies occurring in clusters, firm decision makers can consciously build cooperative governance structures to improve clusterwide competitiveness (see also Christopherson & Storper, 1986; Markusen, 1999; Mesquita, 2007; Storper, 1997; Tallman et al., 2004).”
Creating value in ecosystems: Crossing the chasm between knowledge and business ecosystems (2014, neutral): “In model 2, consistent with the extant literature on knowledge ecosystems (Tallman et al., 2004; Boschma, 2005, Whittington et al., 2009), we find that being close to the most central organisations in the knowledge ecosystem has a positive impact on the innovative output of the focal firm.”
Analytical Differences in the Economics of Geography: The Case of the Multinational Firm (2005, background): “Each of these three aspects of Dunning's (1977) eclectic paradigm are perceived to interact to explain the location decision of the MNE.”
Do we need different frameworks to explain infant MNEs from developing countries (2012, background): “Such institutional inertia acts as an inhibitor to internationalization where such links are strong, but encourages internationalization where they are weak (Narula, 2002; Tallman et al., 2004).”
Value Creation by Knowledge‐Based Ecosystems: Evidence from a Field Study (2012, neutral): “A growing number of (technology-based) companies are, therefore, located in certain geographical ‘hotspots’ (Westhead, 1997; Löfsten and Lindelöf, 2001; Tallman et al., 2004; Asheim and Coenen, 2005).”
Regions Matter: How Localized Social Capital Affects Innovation and External Knowledge Acquisition (2012, background): “…with the literature on the role of geographical context for firm performance—e.g., industrial clusters, industrial districts, and territorial innovation systems (Asheim and Gertler 2005, Brusco 1982, Porter 1990, Romanelli and Khessina 2005, Tallman et al. 2004, Ter Wal and Boschma 2011).”
Sustainability governance of chains and networks: a review and future outlook (2015, background): “Understanding the geographical position of firms in the global economy therefore raises questions about the competitive advantage associated with micro-economics of competition and location (Porter, 2000), as well as the value associated with non-competitive knowledge exchange between firms (Tallman”
Exploring the paradox of competence‐creating subsidiaries : balancing bandwidth and dispersion in MNEs (2014, neutral): “…synergies can exist, and at its most optimal, such collocated knowledge infrastructure can act as a ‘club’ or community of practice providing access to specialised knowledge to those who are locally embedded, and excluding those who are not (Tallman et al 2004, Narula and Santangelo 2009, 2012).”
