Balancing multiple interests: embedding innovation intermediation in the agricultural knowledge infrastructure (2008, background): “However, inappropriate organisational incentives, or cultural and cognitive differences between different actors involved in innovation configurations, may hamper a demand-driven mode of working and an efficient exchange of knowledge and information (Caputo et al., 2002; Nooteboom, 2000).”
Technological proximity and the choice of cooperation partner (2007, background): “However, following Nooteboom (2000) , this heterogeneity of the knowledge bases in a research cooperation has to be sufficiently small to allow an understanding of the partners.”
Knowledge sharing practices as a facilitating factor for improving organizational performance through human capital: A preliminary test (2008, background): “Organizational innovation can be derived from knowledge exchange and learning from network connections across organizational boundaries (Nooteboom, 2000).”
The Impact of Social Capital on the Start-ups’ Performance Growth (2010, methodology): “This social capital dimension is designed based on Larson (1992), Uzzi (1997), Nooteboom (2000) and Yli-Renko, Autio, and Sapienza’s (2001) works.”
Matching demand and supply in the agricultural knowledge infrastructure: Experiences with innovation intermediaries (2008, background): “‘Cognitive distance’ between the different actors involved may cause coordination and learning problems during innovation processes (Nooteboom, 2000), and different norms and expectations with regard to desired output exist (Beesley, 2003; AWT, 2005).”
Why do some places succeed when others decline? A social interaction model of cluster viability (2008, background): “for frequent meetings and engineers’ mobility in order to favor mutual understanding (Nooteboon, 2000) and the diffusion of tacit knowledge through social networks.”
Italian industrial districts as cognitive systems: Are they still reproducible? (2011, background): “However, while this factor facilitates knowledge transfer, it is the diversity between source and receiver that triggers it (Nooteboom 2000).”
Agile and adaptive governance in crisis response: Lessons from the COVID-19 pandemic (2020, neutral): “In the context of evaluating adaptive governance we suggest embracing the “double loop” learning model from educational theory (Argyris, 1976; Nooteboom, 2000; Pahl-Wostl, 2009).”
The Dynamics of Technical and Business Knowledge Networks in Industrial Clusters: Embeddedness, Status, or Proximity? (2016, neutral): “However, when firms are too distant in their knowledge bases, interaction is difficult if not impossible, indeed ‘ information is useless if it is not new, but it is also useless if it cannot be understood ’ (Nooteboom 2000, 153).”
