The Dutch Creative Class and How it Fosters Urban Employment Growth (2007, background): “These studies focus on the external economies of aggregated knowledge measures as part of cities’ competitiveness rather than on individual workers or firms as in approaches on concepts of learning (Hudson, 1999) or internal corporate geographies (Maskell, 2001).”
The Regional Environment and a Firm’s Innovative Performance: A Plea for a Multilevel Interactionist Approach (2007, background): “One key aspect mentioned in this discussion is the tendency to overemphasize the importance of the region and to underspecify the role of the firm (Dicken and Malmberg 2001; Maskell 2001).”
Cluster Absorptive Capacity (2005, background): “Some of them have noted the need to bring firm-level learning into the analysis of clusters’ innovation (Maskell, 2001).”
The effects of industry cluster knowledge management on innovation performance (2014, background): “Therefore, cluster zones with advanced knowledge and techniques are attractive to new companies because they can reinforce local industry's capabilities and knowledge base (Maskell, 2001b).”
Why Butterflies Don’t Leave: Locational Behavior of Entrepreneurial Firms (2007, background): “This situation makes them highly interesting subjects for research at both the macro- and microlevels—that is, at the levels of regional economic development (Markusen 1996; Glasmeier 2000) and of entrepreneurship (Kenney and Patton 2005) and the firm (Maskell 2001; Taylor and Asheim 2001).”

The Firm as Social Networks: An Organisational Perspective (2005, background): “…litera- ture in economics and economic geography has taken for granted the firm as a production unit in the capitalist world economy or as a passive organisational entity driven by abstract capitalist logic (see a review in Clark, Feldman, and Gertler 2000; Maskell 2001; Taylor and Asheim 2001).”
Institutional change in economic geography (2014, background): “These types of collective actors differ from individuals and cannot be reduced to them (Oinas, 2006; also Maskell, 2001).”
Learning in Projects, Remembering in Networks? (2004, background): “The integrity of this corner stone of inquiry remains largely untouched, the firm being rather universally invoked as an atomic crystallization of commercial agency, universalized as a ‘stylised fact’ (Maskell, 2001; Taylor and Asheim, 2001).”
Sectoral Differentiation and Network Structure Within Contemporary Worldwide Corporate Networks (2011, background): “Hence, the multinational corporation has evolved from a comparatively simple set of unidimensionally and vertically controlled processes into a complex system of vertical and lateral intra- and interfirm relationships (Maskell 2001; Dunning and Lundan 2008).”
Resources in Economic Geography: From Substantive Concepts towards a Relational Perspective (2005, background): “To understand this fully we have to consider the processes of knowledge generation both within and outside the firm (Maskell, 2001a).”
Roots to Grow: Family Firms and Local Embeddedness in Rural and Urban Contexts (2018, background): “…and provided a way to (1) better understand the contribution of family businesses to growth in various types of local contexts (e.g., Welter, 2011) and (2) investigate the issue of firm-level heterogeneity and behavior in the context of regional studies (e.g., Maskell, 2001; Block & Spiegel, 2013).”
