Simple question: Does anyone know of research that links the
implementation of open innovation with the decision on where to locate
business operations?
To give this question some context, three research domains are related to this question (though there are of course many more).
- Cluster theory: Regional clusters are believed to provide a fertile environment to support innovation. A huge amount has been written by economic geographers on categorising clusters, analysing how they form and evolve, identifying different policy measures that can be used to stimulate cluster development (addressing perceived market 'failures'), the role of inter-firm networks within clusters, etc. A good summary of work in these areas can be found in the 'GDjBYgu&sig=C0ck1mbpPzjqmb_uLfu64-emeCY&hl=en&ei=l81eTL3AIIa80gTe2I29Bw&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=2&ved=0CCEQ6AEwAQ#v=onepage&q&f=false">Handbook of Research on Innovation and Clusters' edited by Charlie Karlsson.
