Exogenous sources of regional industrial change (2018, background): “…creation in peripheral areas, arguing that the absence of a critical mass of strong actors may offer geographical niches for new paths and room for experimentation (Simmie, 2012) and underlining the importance of exogenous stimuli (Varis et al., 2014; Virkkala, 2007; Isaksen and Trippl, 2016b).”
Entrepreneurship and regional competitiveness: The role and progression of policy (2011, background): “Alternatively regions can be uncompetitive and lack entrepreneurial dynamism because they lack the key strengths which make leading regions prosper and develop (Huggins 1997; North and Smallbone 2000; Benneworth and Charles 2005; Lagendijk and Lorentzen 2007; Virkkala 2007; Huggins and Johnston 2009”
Exogenously Led and Policy-Supported New Path Development in Peripheral Regions: Analytical and Synthetic Routes (2017, background): “…development (R&D) and innovation, a dominance of small- and medium-sized enterprises operating in traditional industries, a lack of combinatorial knowledge bases, and thin and less specialized structures of knowledge and support organizations (Tödtling and Trippl 2005; Virkkala 2007; Isaksen 2015).”
What Kind of Entrepreneurship Drives Regional Development in European Non-core Regions? A Literature Review on Empirical Entrepreneurship Research (2013, background): “Virkkalaa (2007) used a more qualitative approach to analyse how SMEs produce, access and diffuse innovation in a case study in northern Finland.”
The Economic and Innovation Contribution of Universities: A Regional Perspective (2009, background): “…within only fragmented connections to external sources of knowledge (Sánchez, 1992; Vaessen and Keeble, 1995; Huggins, 1997; North and Smallbone, 2000; Benneworth and Charles, 2005; Tödtling and Trippl, 2005; Lagendijk and Lorentzen, 2007; Virkkala, 2007; Malecki, 2007; Doloreux and Dionne, 2008).”
