Bridging local and global networks: Middle-ground association affiliation and stakeholder embeddedness in regional innovation ecosystems
Globalisation and Network Resilience: A Special Issue Introduction
This special issue examines globalisation and resilience, variously conceived, from a network perspective. In an era that moved from hyperglobalisation to disruption—pandemics, geopolitical tensions, climate risks—we argue that a key orienting question should be how globalisation is being reconfigured across multiplex economic, social and industrial networks. With this special issue, we hope to motivate new bodies of literature deploying social n…
What Types of Knowledge‐Intensive Business Services Use Services as a Source of Innovation
The paper examines the factors that influence why knowledge‐intensive business services (KIBS) draw from other KIBS firms in their innovation activities. We provide new empirical evidence on specific firm‐level conditions under which the interactions between KIBS–KIBS are more (or less) likely to be observed. The effects of internal resources, different knowledge search activities, and innovation outcome strategies in influencing KIBS–KIBS intera…
Network versus spatial proximity and firm innovation: The case of the R&D service sector
The paper analyzes the relationship between different types of proximities—network and spatial—in relation to innovation in the context of the R&D service industry. In doing so, it contributes to the recent debate in the literature on the effects of network connectivity versus geographical colocation. The paper uses original data from a survey of 145 R&D service establishments in Montreal (Canada) and their interactions with both local and nonloc…
Smart City Innovations: The Role of Local and Global Collaborations
This paper integrates research on smart cities, innovation ecosystems, and networks to examine how collaboration shapes the development of smart city technologies. It addresses a critical gap in the literature by investigating the roles of both local and global partnerships in driving innovation. Drawing on a negative binomial regression analysis of global patent data, the study evaluates the impact of domestic and international collaborations on…
The (micro) geography of collaborations and interactions in an urban context
The impact of institutional interactions on cluster response to innovation: The case of Montreal and neural machine translation
Despite the importance of institutions in the cluster literature, scholarship has struggled with its conceptualization of institutions, resulting in an incomplete portrait of diverse phenomena. In response, we crystallize a hybrid stream of institutionalism that has emerged in the economic geography literature and propose the construct of institutional interactions to provide structural and relational insight into cluster‐wide resistance to innov…
The mechanisms underlying the emergence of innovation ecosystems: The case of the AI ecosystem in Montreal
Scholars have increasingly been using ecosystem as a concept within and beyond social science, but less is known about how ecosystems emerge. In this study, we investigate the context of the Artificial Intelligence (AI) ecosystem in Montreal to understand the mechanisms underlying the emergence of innovation ecosystems. Building on the work of Ostrom and the literature on innovation commons and conducting content analysis and network analyses, we…
Intermediaries in regional innovation systems: An historical event-based analysis applied to AI industry in Montreal
The nexus between the cultural and creative industries and the Sustainable Development Goals: A network perspective
Scholars and policymakers have widely claimed that the cultural and creative industries (CCIs) provide positive knowledge externalities that can help address sustainable development challenges, yet questions remain about the pathways through which this occurs. In this study, we hypothesise that several features of knowledge networks in the CCIs relate to a location’s sustainable development outcomes. We use data of ownership networks between 22,4…
New path creation in the artificial intelligence industry: Regional preconditions, new actors and their collective actions, and policies
This article contributes to the growing literature on a broader understanding of new industry path creation shaped by regional preconditions as well as multi-actor and multi-scale interventions. Using the case of Montreal’s artificial intelligence (AI) industry as its testing ground, the findings point to the significance of pre-existing industrial structures and knowledge base, as well as the importance of new innovative entrepreneurship, instit…
The Structure of Coordination: Transatlantic Policy Networks and the Mobilization of Business and Civil Society
External policy networks resolve two collective action problems in EU external relations: engaging nonstate actors from the EU and its partner countries in transnational policymaking and converting this engagement to feedback for policymakers. We use formal network analysis to understand the relationship between network structure and collective action by transnational nonstate actors. Our empirical focus is on the Transatlantic Business Council a…
How do firms in co-located clusters interact? Evidence from Greater Montreal
We developed a theoretical framework to explore how firms agglomerate and develop linkages within and across co-located clusters in a competitive urban economy. We applied our framework to Montreal, where we analyzed relationships among its aerospace, information technology and artificial intelligence firms. Using network community structure analysis, we show that firm linkages largely agglomerate within industrial lines. However, there are impor…
Regional innovation clusters and firm innovation performance: An interactionist approach
How is firm innovation affected by location in an innovation cluster? How does the interplay of firm and cluster characteristics matter? We examine these questions by conducting an empirical analysis of firm innovation performance in regional innovation clusters. Our theoretical framework is based on a synthesis of the literature on industrial clustering, regional agglomeration economies and social networks. We test the framework empirically thro…
Calling on Europe? Secessionist Political Parties and Their Communications to the European Union
To what extent do independence‐seeking political parties across Europe appeal to the European Union (EU)? What accounts for differences in these parties' communication levels? In accordance with the literature, we expect that such parties would bypass their host states and seek support from the EU for their nationalist causes, while the EU itself also offers institutional opportunities further enabling parties to solicit assistance, even if it do…
Structure and evolution of global cluster networks: Evidence from the aerospace industry
We use a new panel dataset to study the network of formal firm linkages within and across 52 aerospace clusters in North America and Europe. Our theoretical framework, built upon the knowledge-based cluster and global value chains literature, suggests that a reduction in spatial transaction costs has induced clusters to specialize in increasingly fine-grained value chain stages. This should cause the overall network to evolve from a geographicall…
Cultural distance and entry modes: Implications for global expansion strategy
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to take a strategic perspective on how MNEs in the retail sector decide to enter a new market. Drawing on transaction cost theory, the contingency approach and resource-based theory, the implications of the interplay between global strategy, cultural distance and entry mode strategies are examined by means of an analysis of Carrefour’s global expansion. Design/methodology/approach – To account for the shortc…

Civil Society Organizations in European Union External Relations: A Study of Interorganizational Networks in the Eastern Partnership and the Mediterranean
Networks of civil society organizations are a feature of the Eastern Partnership and the Union for the Mediterranean, the two strategies of the European Union (EU) for relations with the countries of the Neighborhood. We examine these structures as instances of interorganizational networks. We employ social network analysis and multiple regression to test empirically a number of hypotheses about these networks. Our results show that the networks …
Keeping up with the Neighbours: Diffusion of Norms and Practices Through Networks of Employer and Employee Organizations in the Eastern Partnership and the Mediterranean
Using social network analysis and logistic regression, we analyse how inter‐organizational networks facilitate co‐operation and the transfer of best practice from EU‐based organizations to organizations in the European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP) countries. More specifically, we examine networks of employer and employee organizations that participate in the Civil Society Forum of the Eastern Partnership and in TRESMED, a Mediterranean project. We …
Generational Differences in Values in Central and Eastern E urope: The Effects of Politico‐Economic Transition
This article explores the effects of post‐communist transition and E uropean enlargement on intergenerational politico‐economic values in three groups of countries: Central and Eastern E uropean countries that became E uropean U nion members; countries with EU membership prospects; and those that have no membership prospects, at least in the foreseeable future. The analysis indicates considerable differences between these three groups of countrie…
From Business to Politics: Cross‐Border Inter‐Firm Networks and Policy Spillovers in the EU's Eastern Neighbourhood
The European Union (EU) encourages cross‐border inter‐firm networks as a part of its external governance approach. What is the effect of these networks? Do they lead to regulatory convergence aroundEUstandards in the eastern neighbourhood? Using original survey data, as well as data on regional enterprise‐related regulations, this article argues that the density of interaction among private actors and between private actors and regional governmen…

Cross‐border Inter‐firm Networks in the European Union's Eastern Neighbourhood: Integration via Organizational Learning
The European Union (EU) is seeking to generate stronger integration in the wider Europe without further enlargement by involving its immediate neighbours in various regional partnerships. What are the effects of such co‐operation across the eastern borders of the EU and what are the prospects for bringing this region's countries closer to the EU without offering them the possibility of formal EU membership? Using the tools of social network analy…
