Combining Knowledge from Different Sources, Channels and Geographical Scales (2013, background): “Many scholars agree that regional and international knowledge connections complement each other and that it is combinations of knowledge acquired at various spatial scales that underpins innovation (Simmie, 2005; Wolfe & Gertler, 2004).”
A Network-based view of regional growth (2014, background): “…is confined to local milieus, arguing that firms source tacit knowledge from selected providers located outside the local milieu by investing in the building of new channels of communication (Wolfe and Gertler, 2004; Fontes, 2005; Gertler, and Levitte, 2005; Fitjar and Rodriguez-Pose; 2011).”
Clusters for life or life cycles of clusters: in search of the critical factors of clusters' resilience (2014, background): “According to Bathelt, Malmberg, and Maskell (2004); Wolfe and Gertler (2004); OwenSmith and Powell (2004), successful clusters are those that succeed in building and mixing local and global channels to manage knowledge access at different geographical scales.”
Network Capital, Social Capital and Knowledge Flow: How the Nature of Inter-organizational Networks Impacts on Innovation (2012, background): “The key aspect of these developments is that the knowledge base of the world’s most advanced local and regional economies is no longer necessarily local, but positioned within global knowledge networks (Wolfe and Gertler, 2004; Huggins and Izushi, 2007; Lorentzen, 2008).”
Universities and open innovation: the determinants of network centrality (2019, background): “This has led some to question the view that knowledge transfer is confined to local milieus, arguing that firms source knowledge from selected providers located outside the local milieu by investing in the building of new channels of communication (Bathelt and Glückler, 2003; Wolfe and Gertler 2004;”
Structure and evolution of global cluster networks: evidence from the aerospace industry (2016, background): “As a consequence, recent theoretical work conjectures that the success of an industrial cluster depends on the network configuration of both its local and trans-local linkages (Bathelt et al., 2004; Lorenzen and Mudambi, 2013; Wolfe and Gertler, 2004).”
Creative Cities, Creative Spaces and Urban Policy (2009, background): “This suggests the need for both qualitative research and more robust and relevant data (Wolfe and Gertler, 2004), as well as " improvement of urban comparative theory, the improvement of the design of research projects and the quality of measurements " (Denters and Mossberger, 2006, p. 566).”
Creative clusters and city growth (2008, background): “Questions have been raised regarding the relative importance of local linkages (Wolfe and Gertler 2004; Simmie 2004), and whether agglomeration rather than clustering is more likely to be a reflection of urban economies (Gordan and McCann 2000; Wolfe and Gertler 2004).”
Innovation in food firms: contribution of regional networks within the international business context (2007, background): “In line with Wolfe and Gertler ( 2004 ) it can be stated that the appreciation of the ‘intersecting impacts’ of both regional and global factors is a requirement for an effective regional innovation policy.”
Lock-in or lock-out ? How structural properties of knowledge networks affect regional resilience (2014, background): “Since then, geographers, economists, sociologists and also specialists of network analysis and management scientists have converged toward the idea that agglomeration economies arise not only from market forces nor from ‘cookie cutter’ policy guidelines (Wolfe and Gertler, 2004) but also from non-ma”
