Andrea Morrison

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a critical review of the global value chain (GVC) literature in light of the "technological capabilities" approach to innovation in less-developed countries (LDCs).

TL;DR: Morrison et al. as discussed by the authors investigated whether leader firms in a successful Italian furniture district feed the district with knowledge absorbed from external sources, thereby behaving as gatekeepers of knowledge, and found that leader firms are well connected with knowledge sources; yet, linkages with districts firms are far more limited as are informal exchanges that, when they do occur, are mostly restricted to generic information.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyse the nature and extent of knowledge and information networks in an Italian wine cluster and explore the relation between firms' characteristics and the knowledge network structure, showing that knowledge is unevenly distributed in clusters and that networks of knowledge differ a great deal in terms of their structure.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors summarize some of the recent empirical evidence that has generalized the relatedness to a fact describing the entry and exit of products, industries, occupations, and technologies, at the national, regional, and metropolitan scales.

TL;DR: In this paper, the importance of researchers' individual characteristics and their institutional environments in explaining the propensity to engage in different types of U-I linkages has been examined and found to be significant in the formation of university-industry linkages.
