- Resources and bridging: the role of spatial context in rural entrepreneurship (2018, background): “This is similar to what has been referred to as ‘entrepreneurship in the rural’ (Korsgaard, Müller, and Tanvig 2015), i.e. a form of entrepreneurship that has very limited engagement with the location of the venture as a meaningful place.”
- A progress review of entrepreneurship and regional development: What are the remaining gaps? (2016, background): “Even though entrepreneurial activity may statistically be lower in some regions, unique entrepreneurial activity can emerge by utilizing and valorizing place-specific resources (Korsgaard et al., 2015).”
