“…Other than this observation, it is perhaps telling that the papers in this special issue have stayed away from locational issues within internalization theory, even as economic geography has come to rely on the tenets of internalization (Iammarino & McCann, 2013;Mudambi et al, 2018). One of the issues that is repeatedly hinted on throughout this special issue is the systemic linkages within the economy, and the interdependencies between varieties of actors.…”

Internalization theory has provided a resilient analytical framework that explicitly or implicitly underlines much of International Business scholarship. Internalization theory is not a monolithic body of knowledge; instead, it has devolved into several 'streams', each of which focuses on the interests of particular epistemic communities, while also acting as a more generic organizing framework for those more broadly interested in its application to real-world challenges. Following a review of the various streams, we trace the frontiers of current research of the broader internalization framework and identify emerging themes raised by the papers in the special issue. These include transaction cost considerations in the bundling and recombination of assets across diverse contexts, the growing relevance of quasi-internalization, the theoretical challenges of (bounded) rationality for internalization theory, and the increasing disconnect between ownership, control and responsibility. These developments point to new research frontiers for scholars looking to apply or advance internalization theory.

“…To date, much of the cluster research aims to understand the macro-level structural influences (e.g. geographies and local resources) and the subsequent performance and success of market-based knowledge transactions (Eisengerich et al, 2010;Mudambi et al, 2018).…”

This study assesses the composition of micro-level behaviours embedded within innovation clusters. Drawing on network theory of innovation, we examine the relational complexities of a specific university-business form of clustered exchange to characterise the actor level behaviours that influence the breadth and spread of network involvement. Whilst some current research posits behavioural attributes of clustered networks, there have been few studies that have focused on the extent of influence that individuals have on the development of value creating relationships, the roles individuals play and the various factors that have the potential to impact their effectiveness. This conceptual development study provides insights into the actor-level behavioural features that play a central role in promoting the innovation effectiveness of these regions. The findings of this three year long ethnographic study suggest that in the face of resource constraints individuals act as agents in creating and sourcing external input for the benefit of their projects. This has implications for policy-makers as well, as our findings suggests that policies should be shaped to provide enabling factors for boundary-spanning, thus allowing relationships to be equipped with the ability to manage complex partner contexts to access the benefits of diversity.

“…This special issue sought to advance our understanding of personal and social proximity by moving beyond conceptualization and exploration of the concepts' relationships and effects. In doing so, we extend ongoing discussions in the industry and innovation literature, such as those in another recent special issue in the Industry and Innovation journal on the advantages and disadvantages of geographical proximity through collocation (Mudambi, Narula, and Santangelo 2018). While the contributions in the current special issue each advance our understanding in different ways, one should recognize that the studies in this issue make complementary and important contributions to the conceptualization of personal and social proximity.…”
