The Increasing Importance of Geographical Proximity in Knowledge Production: An Analysis of US Patent Citations, 1975–1997 (2008, background): “Baptista and Swann (1998) and Baptista (2000) lend support to this notion, showing that companies in industrial clusters innovate more actively.”
Analysis Of The Benefits Of Intra-Port Competition (2006, background): “The second argument in favour of intra-port competition derives from the fact that such competition fosters specialisation (Baptista 2000), innovation and diversity.”
Clustering and performance: the case of maritime clustering in The Netherlands (2002, background): “Secondly, internal competition adds to the cluster performance because internal competition fosters specialization and, therefore, enhances, from a cluster perspective, the service to speci®c market segments [1, 13].”
Personal relationships and innovation diffusion in SME networks: A content analysis approach (2012, background): “Network and innovation literature has shown that firms belonging to networks are more innovative than isolated firms (Ahuja, 2000; Baptista, 2000; Baptista and Swann, 1998; Brass et al., 2004; Podolny and Stuart, 1995; Powell et al., 1996), identifying a series of factors that result in these…”
Cluster Absorptive Capacity (2005, background): “, 1993) and several contributions have shown that a relationship exists between spatial clustering, knowledge spillovers, learning and innovative output (Audretsch and Feldman, 1996; Baptista, 2000).”
Innovation in Regions (2007, background): “The fact remains, though, that population density is not the best indicator for the density of business networks, although Baptista (2000) seems to offer some support for this.”
What drives patent performance of German biotech firms? The impact of R&D subsidies, knowledge networks and their location (2011, background): “In addition to the effects of embeddedness in knowledge networks, it is also argued that companies in localised industrial clusters experience higher innovation rates than those outside clusters (Audretsch and Feldman 1996, Baptista and Swann 1998). The positive effect of clusters on innovation acti”
Deconstructing clusters: chaotic concept or policy panacea? (2003, background): “Some advocates assert that the economic advantages of clusters have already been empirically demonstrated (Baptista, 1998; 2000).”
