Place-based innovation policy for industrial diversification in regions (2018, background): “Firms also tend to be more innovative when combining knowledge from different scales (Tödtling & Grillitsch, 2015) and an overreliance on local sources may create lock-in and reduce innovativeness (Fitjar & Rodríguez-Pose, 2011; Westlund & Kobayashi, 2013).”
The role of collaborative networks in supporting the innovation performances of lagging-behind European regions (2018, background): “…and combine knowledge available regionally with knowledge acquired from extra-regional sources (Asheim and Coenen, 2006; Cantner et al., 2010; Fitjar and Rodríguez-Pose, 2011; Tödtling et al., 2012; Trippl, 2011). http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.respol.2017.09.006 Received 9 August 2016;…”
Buzz, Archipelago Economies and the Future of Intermediate and Peripheral Areas in a Spiky World (2013, background): “More detailed information on the survey can be found in Fitjar and Rodríguez-Pose (2011). , more than 53% of firms in urban areas in Norway had introduced”
When Do Global Pipelines Enhance the Diffusion of Knowledge in Clusters? (2013, background): “In sum, all these connections may allow external knowledge to be combined in novel ways with local and mostly idiosyncratic knowledge (Fitjar and Rodríguez-Pose 2011; Nonaka and Takeuchi 1995; Becattini and Rullani 1996; Lazerson and Lorenzoni 1999).”
The Complementary Effects of Proximity Dimensions on Knowledge Spillovers (2014, unknown): “…relationships could benefit from the availability of better indicators related to commuting, time distance and cooperative agreements as it is done by Andersson & Grasjö (2009) for the case of Swedish municipalities or by Fitjar & Rodriguez-Pose (2011) for the case of Norwegian firms.”
Perspectives on Cluster Evolution: Critical Review and Future Research Issues (2015, background): “Furthermore, Fitjar and Rodrı́guez-Pose (2011) find in an analysis of Norwegian firms that a high degree of region-mindedness leads to lower degrees of innovation performance.”
The Technological Resilience of U.S. Cities (2014, background): “We might suspect that external search continually refreshes the knowledge base of the region, though whether that is the case is the subject of much current research (Bathelt et al. 2004; Fitjar and Rodríguez-Pose 2011).”
Entrepreneurship, innovation and regional growth: a network theory (2015, background): “This has led some to question the view that tacit knowledge transfer 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; Ge”
Relatedness as driver of regional diversification: a research agenda (2017, unknown): “…a current weakness of this prime focus on national and regional capabilities is that it has neglected the role of extra-regional linkages and actors that might affect regional diversi ﬁ cation (Asheim & Isaksen, 2002; Dahl Fitjar & Rodríguez-Pose, 2011; Moodysson, 2008; Trippl et al., 2015).”
Smart specialization policy in the European Union: relatedness, knowledge complexity and regional diversification (2019, background): “Another challenge is how smart specialization policy can assist in linking peripheral regions to the outside world to compensate for lack of local capabilities (Fitjar & Rodríguez-Pose, 2011; Grillitsch & Nilsson, 2015).”
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;”
