Globalisation, economic geography and the strategy of multinational enterprises (2004, background): “The geographic sources of competitiveness of international firms have attracted sporadic attention (Birkenshaw and Hood, 2000; Dunning, 1996; Frost, 2001), particularly as regards creative subsidiaries, but have not, as yet, become a mainstream preoccupation of international business theory.”
The Impact of Interorganizational Imitation on New Venture International Entry and Performance (2010, background): “For instance, new ventures can colocate overseas with large industry firms in order to benefit from the informal knowledge spillovers and take advantage of the pool of qualified workers that is being created (Birkinshaw & Hood, 2000).”
The FDI location decision: does liberalization matter? (2007, background): “Birkinshaw and Hood, 2000; Rugman and Verbeke, 2001; Andresson et al., 2002) have shown how international strategies are often formulated to selectively tap local knowledge and location-bound resources in order to improve firms’ overall competitive standings.”
Edith Penrose's contribution to the resource-based view of strategic management (2002, background): “…specifically, this work emphasizes the pathdependent processes of foreign knowledge absorption and diffusion throughout the MNE, and the delicate balance to be achieved between internal knowledge development and external knowledge acquisition (Birkinshaw and Hood, 2000; Rugman and Verbeke, 2001).”
International entrepreneurship and geographic location: an empirical examination of new venture internationalization (2008, background): “As foreign subsidiaries are often placed within cluster regions (Birkinshaw & Hood, 2000), knowledge of opportunities in foreign markets also increases with the concentration of industry clustering in a region (Karagozoglu & Lindell, 1998; Westhead et al., 2001).”
Putting Porter into Practice? Practices of Regional Cluster Building: Evidence from Sweden (2002, neutral): “(Austrian, 2000; Bathelt, 2001; Berranger & Meldrum 2000; Birkinshaw & Hood, 2000; Clancy et al., 2001; Enright, 2000; Enright & Ffowcs-Williams, 2000; Hallencreutz et al., 2000a; Ivarsson, 1999; Oakey et al., 2001; Swann et al., 1998).”
The cluster approach and SME competitiveness: a review (2007, background): “There are some indicators, however, that cluster with high levels of dependence on foreign assistance are less autonomous, have weaker capabilities and have greater difficulties in achieving long-term sustainability ( Birkinshaw and Hood, 2000”
The impact of increases in subsidiary autonomy and network relationships on performance (2012, methodology): “The measurement of strategic and operational decision-making authority uses approaches and measurement scales adapted from Birkinshaw and Hood (2000), and Taggart and Hood (1999).”
Clusters, knowledge spillovers and new venture performance: An empirical examination (2008, background): “Canina et al. (2005) also found that clustering benefits depend on the type of firm.”
