Innovation, employment growth, and foreign ownership of firms (2014, background): “In addition, MNE affiliates are embedded in intra-firm networks of knowledge exchange (Gupta and Govindarajanan, 2000; Williams and Lee, 2009; Zanfei, 2000) and benefit from the exchange between MNE affiliates in different countries.”
Internationalisation, Innovation and Productivity: How Do Firms Differ in Italy? (2007, positive): “This will generally require the combination of internal network development within multinational firms, with external networks involving partners active in the specific local markets in which foreign affiliates are active (Zanfei 2000).”
The Economic Geography of the Internet’s Infrastructure* (2002, background): “Transnationals rely on a “double network” that is comprised of both an internal network and a set of external networks (Zanfei 2000).”
The Internationalization of Corporate R&D: A Review of the Evidence and Some Policy Implications for Home Countries1 (2009, background): “12 See, for example, Zanfei (2000), for a review of the literature on the innovative activities of MNE affiliates and the tension between affiliate autonomy and centralized control.”
Export behavior and productivity growth: Evidence from Italian manufacturing firms (2002, background): “IO This idea has been put forward in a number of recent studies on multinational companies (see, for example, Zanfei 2000 ).”
Subsidiary Roles and Reverse Knowledge Transfer: An Investigation of the Effects of Coordination Mechanisms (2011, neutral): “(Andersson et al., 2002; Phene and Almeida, 2008; Zanfei, 2000).”
R&D Offshoring and the Productivity Growth of European Regions (2012, background): “7Eventually, innovation developed for the local markets may be decontextualized, becoming part of the knowledge base of the multinational firms, subsequently exploited elsewhere (Zanfei, 2000; Castellani and Zanfei, 2006).”
Exploring the paradox of competence‐creating subsidiaries : balancing bandwidth and dispersion in MNEs (2014, neutral): “It is therefore with the greatest of caution we suggest that the ‘ideal’ CCS sits in cell 4, being deeply internally embedded, as well as deeply embedded in its local milieu (Zanfei 2000).”
R&D Collaboration by SMEs: new opportunities and limitations in the face of globalisation (2004, background): “However, such growing complex linkages, both of networks internal to the firm, and those between external networks and internal networks, require complex coordination if they are to provide optimal benefits (see Zanfei 2000 for a discussion).”
How remote are R&D labs? Distance factors and international innovative activities (2013, background): “For example, MNEs investing in a country with a similar language and culture can be expected to disseminate information about a new product or production process more easily (Davidson, 1980), and are more likely to absorb new ideas and innovative stimuli effectively from a local context (Zanfei, 200”
Explaining governance in global value chains: A modular theory-building effort (2014, background): “Multinational firms have long been a focus of research and debate among scholars of the global economy (for example, Hymer, 1976; Caves, 1996; Zanfei, 2000; Doz, Santos and Williamson, 2001).”
