The ‘how’ rather than the ‘what’ of research impact
Recent discourse about the impact of university research has focused on what research impact is and less on how it manifests. To explore these two questions, we draw on knowledge theory and build on the distinction between explicit knowledge and tacit knowledge. We propose that tacit knowledge and knowing are necessary conditions for impact to occur and illustrate our conceptual model through two highly ranked research impact case studies as well…
Presenting as a chief strategy officer
Do elite strategists always project powerfulness in how they talk about their strategy work? Whilst the strategy discourse literature has often assumed that those occupying senior strategy positions project strength in how they negotiate power through discourse, our findings challenge and elaborate this assumption by revealing aspects of vulnerability and powerlessness in how they talk about themselves as elite strategists. Based on the strategy …
Airbnb and micro-entrepreneurship in regional economies
Having begun as a short-term rental platform in major cities, Airbnb has now extended to many remote and regional areas of Australia. One effect of this spread has been disruption to the conventional rental industry, which stimulates micro-entrepreneurship in local communities directly through short-term accommodation and indirectly through related industries. Given Australia's core-periphery settlement structure, resulting from the country's his…
The public university and the retreat from globalisation
As a growing backlash against globalisation gathers momentum, internationally oriented public universities face a period of great unrest. In particular, they find themselves caught between the narrowing local agendas of their public funders and the global outlook of their researchers and students. We suggest that an economic geography lens provides a powerful perspective for how universities might navigate these tensions. Specifically, we show ho…
The competitive advantage of regions
Despite the growth of population and economy over the last 50 years, the world has never felt smaller. The emergence of the internet, platform-based business models, the continued rise of the multi
Enabling organizational ambidexterity
Are design solutions sufficient to strategically manage the tensions key to long-term organizational survival? Managing the competing demands of exploration and exploitation represent a fundamental challenge for senior-leadership teams, but a growing body of research suggests that accommodating the mere co-presence of exploration and exploitation in separated units is not enough. Senior-leadership teams must also integrate and mobilize activities…
FinTech, economy and space
In the introduction to the first-ever special issue on the spatial dimensions of FinTech, we show that despite a FinTech fever in business and media, research on FinTech is still niche, particularly in social sciences. We describe FinTech as a research area full of controversies, ripe and in need of geographical research. As we outline, papers in this issue contribute to the debate primarily by examining the role of the state, financial centres a…
Investment banking centres since the global financial crisis
Financial centres are central to contemporary capitalism, but research on their development has been impeded by methodological challenges related to data availability. This paper offers a new typology of financial centre activity. Based on the nationality of parent companies of financial service providers operating in a centre, and the nationalities of their customers, we distinguish between domestic, export, import and platform activities. Secon…
Australia’s shifting global engagement
A key theme of Global Restructuring (R. H. Fagan and M. Webber. 1994. Global Restructuring: The Australian Experience. Melbourne: Oxford University Press) is the dramatic rise of financial capital flows into and out of Australia commencing with the financial deregulation measures of the early 1980s. The book’s concern is with the impacts of this deregulation on the materials sectors of the Australian economy, chiefly on the food, manufacturing an…
Economic Geography of Investment Banking Since 2008
Investment bank capitalism might have foundered during the global financial crisis in 2008, but what has happened to investment banks? Our analysis reveals that core investment banking activities have experienced a significant contraction, accompanied by diminished institutional and geographic concentration. Large banks have experienced the largest falls in revenue, and Asian banks have capitalized on the growth of their local capital markets. Wi…
What turns cities into international financial centres? Analysis of cross-border investment banking 2000–2014
Globalisation, financialisation and technology have fuelled competition among international financial centres (IFCs), with investment banks playing an important part in the process. This study introduces novel data on cross-border investment banking revenues in 2000-2014 by city, and investigates their determinants. It shows that IFCs emerge from cities that are already leading domestic financial centres, with large, deep, flexible and open labou…
Geographical linkages in the financial services industry
Geographical linkages in the financial services industry: a dialogue with organizational studies. Regional Studies. This article proposes a conceptualization of the geographical linkages in the financial services sector based on boundary-spanning activities. In doing so, it seeks to open a dialogue between organizational sociology and regional development that goes beyond an analysis of financial transactions and asset prices to the informational…

Infrastructure as a traded product
As nations continue to grapple with growing infrastructure demand, financial markets will play an increasingly prominent role in the landscape for urban infrastructure. Yet existing literature tends to depict the ‘financialization’ of urban infrastructure assets as a restless move towards market efficiency aided by the growing transparency of financial information. This article offers a different view, showing how the spatial richness of financia…
The economic geography of European carbon market trading
The European Union Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS) is the world's first regional 10 carbon trading market. This article is a quantitative attempt to examine the temporal and spatial geography of European carbon trading. We show that carbon markets are especially sensitive to two factors: staging across time (Phase I versus II of the EU ETS) and across space (energy market structures in Europe). Carbon markets serve as a vehicle to better unders…
