Knowledge transfers from business conferences to firms’ permanent locations
Studies on trade fairs, business conferences and similar events have explored the circumstances of such temporary face-to-face encounters, the types of communities that get together and their interaction patterns. Despite this research, there is no sound understanding of how firms transfer knowledge generated during these events to their permanent locations. This paper aims to contribute to closing this research gap by studying eight business con…
Planning for Locally Embedded Economies in the Productive City
Various economic activities (urban agriculture, industries, services) are conceivable in the productive city. This thematic issue attempts to highlight especially urban production/manufacturing as tangible manifestations embedded in their local settings because they are conflict‐ridden, emanate distinctive spatial characteristics, and require complex planning processes. Therefore, we called for empirical case studies of such locally embedded econ…
Populist resentments and identities and their repercussions on firms and regions. The example of East Thuringia
Right-wing populism and related geographies of discontent have become central subjects in the recent debate on regional inequalities. The present contribution seeks to complement existing, predominantly synoptic approaches by looking at specific economic practices of local actors. We argue that exclusionary regional political identities are transferred to firms and shape corporate practices. Using 65 semi-structured interviews with representative…
Recruiting and integrating international high-skilled migrants – Towards a typology of firms in rural regions in Germany
In rural regions in Germany, significant demographic shifts have raised the question as to whether increased employment of international high-skilled migrants can help to address pressing challenges, i.e., a shortage of labor, a lack of corporate internationalization, and reduced innovation activities. While firms play a key role in this context by actively recruiting migrants and harnessing their skills and competences, little is still known abo…
Regions, emotions and left-behindness: A phase model for understanding the emergence of regional embitterment
Discontent is an important feature of ‘left-behind places’, often reflected by a high percentage of voting for populist parties. Drawing on insights from psychology, we extend previous analyses by focusing on collective embitterment as the central underlying emotional state in a region. Arguing that such negative emotions do not arise ‘out of the blue’, we develop a four-phase model of regional embitterment that accounts for the emotional charact…
Participation in Online Research: Towards a Typology of Research Subjects with Regard to Digital Access and Literacy
The Covid-19 pandemic has severely impacted empirical research practices relying on face-to-face interactions, such as interviews and group discussions. Confronted with pandemic management measures such as lockdowns, researchers at the height of the pandemic were widely limited to the use of online methods that did not enable direct contact with their research subjects. Even as the pandemic subsides, online data collection procedures are being wi…

The evolution of entrepreneurial ecosystems and the critical role of migrants. A Phase-Model based on a Study of IT startups in the Greater Tel Aviv Area
Unlike existing studies on entrepreneurial ecosystems that focus on the internal dynamics of such systems, this article argues that entrepreneurial ecosystems are linked to one another through economically specialised migrants that trigger their emergence and positively affect their future development. To illustrate the relation between migration and the dynamics of entrepreneurial ecosystems, a model is presented that distinguishes three differe…

Imperialisten, Spione oder Retter: Zur Charakterisierung von Direktinvestitionen aus Russland, Indien und China in deutschen Tageszeitungen
Imperialists, spies or rescuers? Characterization of direct investments from Russia, India and China in German daily newspapers. Direct investments originating from Russia, India and China in Western countries not only have grown in number but also have raised diverse public resentments. These reservations can partly be attributed to media reports that by transporting distinct views and evaluations influence the recipients’ perceptions and thus h…
Understanding Geographies of Polarization and Peripheralization: Perspectives from Central and Eastern Europe and Beyond
Knowledge generation and field reproduction in temporary clusters and the role of business conferences
The Geographies of Knowledge Transfers over Distance: Toward a Typology
In the globalizing knowledge economy firms have become less reliant on local production and market networks and increasingly expand their reach to an international or global scale. The argument of this paper suggests that this has given rise to distinct geographies of knowledge transfers over distance, which rely on periodic or regular temporary face-to-face contacts. While some of these settings of temporary knowledge transfers have existed for …
