Regional industrial path development in different regional innovation systems: A conceptual analysis (2014, background): “Apart from a few notable exceptions (Asheim et al. 2011; Simmie 2012; Asheim et al. 2013; Morgan 2013; Boschma 2014b; Dawley 2014) the importance of policy interventions has received little attention so far in conceptual considerations and empirical analyses of regional path development.”
Perspectives on Cluster Evolution: Critical Review and Future Research Issues (2015, background): “Simmie (2012) describes how the wind power industry entrepreneurs in Denmark employed and gradually improved local knowledge to supply local markets in rural areas, and were then probably not deviating from existing knowledge, business models and so on.”
Place-based innovation policy for industrial diversification in regions (2018, background): “Thus, even though exceptions may prove the rule (Simmie, 2012), the creation of new industries will be unfeasible in regions with low system sophistication.”
Financing the civic energy sector: How financial institutions affect ownership models in Germany and the United Kingdom (2016, unknown): “The role of financial institutions in enabling energy system change The relation of civil society institutions to renewable energy development is well reported in the Danish experience [43] [44] [45].”
Green industry development in different types of regions (2019, background): “This has been studied in the literature on new industrial path development and path creation (Dawley, 2014; Garud, Kumaraswamy, & Karnøe, 2010; Grillitsch & Trippl, 2016; Simmie, 2012).”
Towards a comprehensive understanding of new regional industrial path development (2019, background): “Thus, the creation of new paths requires ‘social action by knowledgeable pioneering individuals, universities, companies and/or governments’ (Simmie, 2012, p. 769).”
Exogenous sources of regional industrial change (2018, background): “…creation in peripheral areas, arguing that the absence of a critical mass of strong actors may offer geographical niches for new paths and room for experimentation (Simmie, 2012) and underlining the importance of exogenous stimuli (Varis et al., 2014; Virkkala, 2007; Isaksen and Trippl, 2016b).”
Path Renewal in Old Industrial Regions: Possibilities and Limitations for Regional Innovation Policy (2015, background): “The path-dependent nature of technological change has been fruitfully explained and theorized in the literature on socio-technical transitions, with the help of the concept of ‘socio-technical regimes’ (GEELS, 2002; SIMMIE, 2012; TRUFFER and COENEN, 2012).”
Regional industrial restructuring resulting from individual and system agency (2018, background): “This includes not only those developing new ideas and products, but also other industry actors (suppliers, collaborators, competitors etc.), policy actors, research milieus, potential customers etc. (Simmie 2012).”
Trinity of change agency, regional development paths and opportunity spaces (2020, background): “Regional paths emerge due to the intertwining of a whole range of actions, and intended and unintended results of them (Dawley, 2014; Karnøe and Garud, 2012; Simmie, 2012; Garud and Karnøe, 2003), yet such a holistic framework is missing.”
Green technologies and Smart Specialisation Strategies: a European patent-based analysis of the intertwining of technological relatedness and key enabling technologies (2018, background): “On the other hand, while possible, these regional environmental approaches are hard to implement in practice and arguably infrequent (Simmie, 2012).”
Reconsidering path creation in economic geography: aspects of agency, temporality and methods (2016, background): “Contrary to ‘canonical path dependency’, in which path dependence forces set in ‘behind the back’ of actors (Simmie, 2012), Garud and Karnøe emphasize collective agency and knowledgeable actors who ‘mindfully deviate’ from extant paths and established routines to initiate processes that shape new so”
