Green energy clusters and socio-technical transitions: analysis of a sustainable energy cluster for regional economic development in Central Massachusetts, USA (2012, background): “…mobility (Saxenian 1994), observational and interactive learning (Vincente and Suire 2007), formal and informal interactions among actors in a region (Bathelt et al. 2004; Casper 2007), and shared cultural traditions and habits within a particular industrial cluster (Saxenian 1994; Amin 1999).”
Resource-based and institution-based approaches to biotechnology industry development in Malaysia (2011, background): “While the intersection of public sector research and private investment capital are critical to developing capabilities in this important industry, the formation of regional capabilities tends to depend on local context (Andersson, Serger, Sorvik, & Hansson, 2004; Casper, 2007; Stuart & Sorenson, 20”

Human Capital, Social Capital, and Social Network Analysis: Implications for Strategic Human Resource Management (2015, methodology): “Casper (2007) was able to track the mobility of laborers and managers within the San Diego biotechnology industry and map the emergence of sustainable technology clusters by studying social network formation.”
Inter-industry labor flows (2017, background): “However, although the spatial limits to mobility are central in much of this research (Breschi and Lissoni, 2005; Agrawal et al., 2006; Casper, 2007), also here, the question of whether there are inter-industry constraints to labor mobility has typically been neglected.”
Why people keep coming back to Facebook: Explaining and predicting continuance participation from an extended theory of planned behaviour perspective (2013, background): “Previous studies have embarked upon the theory of planned behaviour from multi-disciplined points of view to predict various behaviours; ranging from psychology (see [20]), sociology (see [43]), management (see [81]), marketing (see [40]), computer science (see [65]), to information systems (see [37”
Meeting, mating, and intermediating: How incubators can overcome weak network problems in entrepreneurial ecosystems (2020, background): “We base the number 100 on empirical size estimates of EEs that commonly vary between 50 and 178 startups (Casper, 2007; Clarysse et al., 2014; Cooke, 2002).”
