California Dreamin’: The Feeble Case for Cluster Policies (2011, background): “This literature is reviewed in Storper (1997), Maskell (2001), and Martin and Sunley (2003).”
The structure and evolution of industrial clusters: Transactions, technology and knowledge spillovers (2006, background): “This can therefore provide possible collective learning processes, through which knowledge and technology can be used, diffused and created, and which are central to the evolutionary economics explanations of localised growth patterns (Malmberg, 1997; Maskell, 2001; Bathelt et al., 2002).”
Epistemic Communities and Cluster Dynamics: On the Role of Knowledge in Industrial Districts (2004, background): “…geography of clusters, it has become conventional to emphasize the seeming contradiction between ‘globalization’, on the one hand, and the continued importance of geographic location and regional advantage, on the other (see, e.g., Markusen, 1996; Porter, 1998; Maskell, 2001; Narula, 2003).”
What Qualifies as a Cluster Theory (2005, background): “Few would, even at the outset, feel tempted to accuse the cluster literature at large for being overly concerned with precise definitions of important constructs or burdened with excessive specifications of the exact nature of the processes involved (Maskell 2001, Martin and Sunley 2003).”
The Emergence of New Industries at the Regional Level in Spain: A Proximity Approach Based on Product Relatedness (2013, positive): “There is a huge literature in economic geography that stresses the importance of region-specific assets for regional competitiveness (Storper 1992; Markusen 1996; Lawson 1999; Maskell and Malmberg 1999; Maskell 2001).”
Developing and governing entrepreneurial ecosystems: the structure of entrepreneurial support programs in Edinburgh, Scotland (2016, background): “More recent approaches have stressed the importance knowledge spillovers due to the increased interaction between co-located firms (Maskell, 2001).”
When Local Interaction Does Not Suffice: Sources of Firm Innovation in Urban Norway (2011, positive): “Geographical and sectoral proximity among firms generates agglomeration economies which compensate for the limited economies of scale internal to SMEs and reduce the costs of co-ordinating sources of knowledge (Maskell, 2001).”
The effects of industry cluster knowledge management on innovation performance (2014, background): “Therefore, cluster zones with advanced knowledge and techniques are attractive to new companies because they can reinforce local industry's capabilities and knowledge base (Maskell, 2001b).”
Knowledge Networks and Innovative Performance in an Industrial District: The Case of a Footwear District in the South of Italy (2007, background): “First of all, the study shows that cluster analysis should take seriously the firm level, instead of treating the firm as a black box (Maskell, 2001).”
Interfirm Knowledge Exchanges and the Knowledge Creation Capability of Clusters (2009, background): “tributing to the emergence of interfirm trust and institutional norms of cooperation (Bathelt, Malmberg, & Maskell, 2004; Lawson & Lorenz, 1999; Maskell, 2001; Storper & Venables, 2004).”
Toward a Reconceptualization of Regional Development Paths: Is Leipzig’s Media Cluster a Continuation of or a Rupture with the Past? (2003, background): “Maskell (2001), Malmberg and Maskell (2002), and others have contributed to a more nuanced understanding of the processes that drive the evolution of a regional cluster (Bathelt 2001a, 2002; Bathelt and Glückler 2002; Feldman 2001; Cooke 1999; Cooke and Huggins 2001; Clark, Tracey, and Lawton Smith…”
Knowledge creation, learning and innovation in italian industrial districts (2002, background): “Technological knowledge tends to be partially localized (Stiglitz, 1987); thus it is rather ‘sticky’ and embedded in organizations (Maskell, 2001; Maskell and Malmberg, 1999).”
Geographical proximity and innovation: Evidences from the Campos Basin oil & gas industrial agglomeration—Brazil (2009, background): “The interactions between economic activities and local institutions make the agglomeration more attractive and the value created may justify the additional cost (Maskell, 2001).”
Temporary Clusters and Knowledge Creation: The Effects of International Trade Fairs, Conventions and Other Professional Gatherings (2004, background): “Additional recent references include Malmberg and Maskell (1997, 2002), Cooke and Morgan (1998), Maskell and Malmberg (1999), Gordon and McCann (2000), Maskell (2001), Bathelt (2002, 2003), Bathelt and Taylor (2002), Pinch, Henry, Jenkins and Tallman (2003), Clark and Tracey (2004).”
Deconstructing clusters: chaotic concept or policy panacea? (2003, background): “There is in fact an increasing tendency to explain cluster formation and development in terms of local knowledge and ‘collective learning’ (see, for example, Pinch and Henry, 1999; Hassink, 1997; Steiner and Hartman, 1998, 2001; Keeble and Wilkinson, 2000; Maskell, 2001).”
