Geographic Variations in the Early Diffusion of Corporate Voluntary Standards: Comparing ISO 14001 and the Global Compact (2010, background): “Still, our study provides the first large-N, statistical evidence supporting case-study literature which has documented a role for business travel in diffusing new knowledge, organizational practices, and norms across territorial boundaries (Beaverstock, 2002; Jones, 2007).”
Corporate Ecologies of Business Travel in Professional Service Firms (2009, methodology): “…of new markets in regions such as the former-Soviet Union, central Europe and China, international business travel within, from and to Europe has become an even more important practice of global work in the late twentieth and early twenty-first century (Davidson and Cope, 2003; Jones, 2007, 2008).”
Flows of people, flows of ideas, and the inequality of nations (2011, background): “Aspects of technological knowledge therefore remains tacit in nature and may then only be transferred fully via personal interaction, preferably face-to-face (Keller, 2004; Storper and Venables, 2004; Jones, 2007).”
The Global Professional Service Firm: ‘One Firm’ Models versus (Italian) Distant Institutionalized Practices (2013, background): “English law firms were chosen as an exemplary group of GPSFs because of their commitment, as opposed to accountancy firms or US-based law firms, to the ‘one firm’ strategy (Jones, 2007).”
Enhancing Our Lives with Immersive Virtual Reality (2016, unknown): “Based on the analysis by Jones (2007), it is argued that faceto-face meetings are important for completing projects across international sites, maintaining commitment to strategic plans and shared organizational culture, knowledge sharing, creativity, and new services.”
The Geographies of Knowledge Transfers over Distance: Toward a Typology (2014, background): “In most cases firms connect with their international business environment by means of regular air travel (Beaverstock et al, 2009; Faulconbridge et al, 2009; Jones, 2007; Wickham and Vecchi, 2008).”
Theorizing practice in economic geography: Foundations, challenges, and possibilities (2011, unknown): “…relational proximity (and in some cases trust) needed for firms to act at a distance in a globalized economy (Dicken et al. , 2001; Amin, 2002; Bathelt and Glückler, 2003; Bathelt et al. , 2004; Glückler, 2005; Yeung, 2005b; Murphy, 2006a; Jones, 2007; 2008; Palmer and O’Kane, 2007; Pain, 2008).”
Business Travel from the Traveller’s Perspective: Stress, Stimulation and Normalization (2014, unknown): “These insights are echoed in several studies looking at why businesspeople travel and in what ways international companies depend on geographically dispersed face-to-face interaction within and outside the organization (e.g. Jones 2007; Aguiléra 2008; Wickham and Vecchi 2008).”
