Social capital in the growth of science-and-technology-based SMEs (2008, unknown): “…are key facilitators in this establishment process (Chetty and Campbell-Hunt, 2003; Cross, Borgatti, & Parker, 2002; Elfring and Hulsink, 2003; Hanna and Walsh, 2002; Hitt and Ireland, 2002; Jarillo, 1989; Lechner and Dowling, 2003; Lipparini and Sobero, 1994; Rangone, 1999; Rogers, 2004;…”
Orchestrating innovation networks: The case of innovation brokers in the agri-food sector (2010, background): “A key premise of the facilitator role of innovation brokers is an impartial and independent position (Hanna and Walsh 2002; Hassink 1996; Isaksen and Remøe 2001), i.e. one that does not adhere to certain ‘preferred suppliers’ or ‘preferred development strategies’.”
Brokerage in SME networks (2010, background): “The few existing studies in this area are based on research focusing on large enterprises (Hanna and Walsh, 2002; Pittaway et al., 2004; Shaw, 2006) or qualitative research in industrial districts (Kunmar et al., 1998; Morrison, 2008).”
Does network board capital matter? A study of innovative performance in strategic SME networks (2010, background): “Many European governmental and private institutions and policy programs now willingly support strategic SME networks (Hanna and Walsh, 2002; Rosenfeld, 1996).”
Matching demand and supply in the agricultural knowledge infrastructure: Experiences with innovation intermediaries (2008, background): “Financiers or shareholders of innovation intermediaries may want to realize different objectives through the organization (Huggins, 2000; Hanna and Walsh, 2002).”
Shifting intra- and inter-organizational innovation processes towards digital business: An empirical analysis of SMEs (2017, background): “SMEs can exploit opportunities and overcome the liability of their small size by collaborating with external partners, such as customers, suppliers and other enterprises (Hanna & Walsh, 2002; Parida, Westerberg, & Frishammar, 2012).”
Balancing multiple interests: embedding innovation intermediation in the agricultural knowledge infrastructure (2008, background): “A key premise of this facilitator role is an impartial and independent position (Isaksen and Remøe, 2001; Hanna and Walsh, 2002).”
Determinants of Product Innovation in Small Firms (2006, background): “In Dutch construction, it is common for any revolutionary product (e.g. building, bridge) to be developed in close consultation with customers (governments, project developers) and other contractors (e.g. engineers, architects) (cf. Hanna and Walsh, 2002; Tether, 2002).”
Identifying key determinants for new product introductions and firm performance in small service firms (2005, background): “A variety of reasons for the growth in the number of innovation alliances can be found in the literature, but the dominant reason remains the lack of resources [Dodgson, 1994; Tether, 2002; Hanna and Walsh, 2002].”
Determinants of product innovation in small firms: A Comparison Across Industries (2004, background): “Complementary knowledge may be another reason to co-operate in innovation processes (see also Brouwer and Kleinknecht, 1996; Hadjimanolis, 2000; Hanna and Walsh, 2002; Tether, 2002).”
