Theorizing practice in economic geography: Foundations, challenges, and possibilities (2011, unknown): “Here again geographers have looked to and drawn upon a range of sociological and management literature, notably those from economic sociology (Emirbayer, 1997; Knorr Cetina and Bruegger, 2002; Grabher, 2006), science studies (Law, 1994; Callon et al.”
For Polanyian Economic Geographies (2013, background): “This said, the scope for analyzing spatially variegated economies in such terms has only been fi tfully realized (Grabher, 2006; Peck, 2005; Peck and Theodore, 2007).”
Handbook of Local and Regional Development (2010, background): “…and unifying, singular approaches, an aspiration for dialogue, establishing ‘trading routes’, negotiating ‘bypasses’ and ‘risky intersections’ (Grabher 2006), even contributing to ‘post-disciplinarity’ (Sayer 1999), underpins such multi-and inter-disciplinary approaches to local and regional…”
Analysing global economic organization: embedded networks and global chains compared (2008, background): “The extent to which this call for balance has been heeded in the research programme of the new economic sociology is an open question, however, as Granovetter himself appeared to suggest in a recent assessment of the field (Granovetter, 2002; cf. Peck, 2005).(1) Thus, while one can read Granovetter ”
Sectoral Differentiation and Network Structure Within Contemporary Worldwide Corporate Networks (2011, background): “Furthermore, we paid special attention to three properties because the network characteristics of hierarchy and heterarchy are fundamental to corporate organizations (e.g., Hymer 1972; Lin, Cook, and Burt 2001; Hedlund 1986; Grabher 1993; Dunning and Lundan 2008).”
Spatial Science and Network Science: Review and Outcomes of a Complex Relationship (2014, background): “Indeed, Social Network Analysis has been little noticed by geographers until recently (Grabher, 2006; Ter Wal and Boschma, 2009; Radil et al., 2010) as sociologists increasingly consider the influence of space in their works.”
Relational Economic Geography: A Partial Understanding or a New Paradigm? (2008, background): “Many studies showed a tendency to assume, rather than demonstrate, that relational assets are the key to regional economic growth (Overman 2004), but relational assets and “strong ties” are rarely an adequate explanation of uneven economic development (MacLeod 2001; Grabher 1993).”
The Impact of Regional Age Structure on Entrepreneurship (2009, background): “Second, social networks of both personal and informal business contacts provide information about opportunities and risks, thus reducing both transaction costs and uncertainty (Grabher 2006; Granovetter 1985; Hayek 1937; Klepper 2001; Nohria 1992; Powell and Smith-Doerr 1994).”
The dynamics of interfirm networks along the industry life cycle: The case of the global video game industry, 1987–2007 (2013, background): “…the spatial processes at hand, various scholars have recently identified flaws in this literature by criticizing its lack of formalization and its metaphorical accounts of relational processes (see e.g. Giuliani and Bell, 2005; Cantner and Graf, 2006; Grabher, 2006; Glückler, 2007; Sunley, 2008).”
