Does combining analytical and synthetic knowledge benefit eco‐innovation? Evidence from Norway Bus. Strategy Environ. (IF 13.4) Pub Date : 2024-03-16 Faraimo Jay Vai
Analytical or synthetic knowledge is widely considered beneficial for eco‐innovation (EI). For a firm, analytical and synthetic knowledge can be acquired externally through collaboration with various partners or generated internally through R&D and other internal firm activities. However, evidence supporting the assumption that both forms of knowledge are complementary and that “doing more of all”

Degrowth attitudes among entrepreneurs hinder fast venture scaling Bus. Strategy Environ. (IF 13.4) Pub Date : 2024-03-16 Sebastian Hinderer, Andreas Kuckertz
The degrowth paradigm has gained popularity in the sustainability discourse in recent years. Questioning the absolute decoupling of economic growth from environmental degradation, degrowth proponents suggest downscaling production and consumption to reduce resource extraction and energy consumption. However, this seems to be at odds with conventional wisdom about entrepreneurship. Thus, our research

Internal versus external agglomeration advantages in investment location choice: The role of global cities’ international connectivity J. Int. Bus. Stud. (IF 11.6) Pub Date : 2024-03-14
Abstract Global location choices for foreign direct investments by MNCs aim to benefit both from the advantages of collocation with other activities of the firm (internal agglomeration) and the advantages of proximity to local industry clusters of similar activities (external agglomeration). We submit that there are important trade-offs between internal and external agglomeration because internal knowledge
