“…However, this is disputable and recent research challenges this view by arguing that especially in peripheral regions, company-related factors are crucial if a firm aims to be innovative. Some of these factors are absorptive capacity, company growth, firm size, and strategical planning (e.g., North and Smallbone 2000; McAdam, McConvery, and Armstrong 2004; Copus, Skuras, and Tsegenidi 2008; Varis and Littunen 2012; McAdam, Reid, and Shevlin 2014). Consequently, it seems that there is little doubt nowadays that regional factors influencing innovation in peripheral regions are diverse and that they might actually be of limited importance.…”

“…According to the literature on regional innovation systems, the region as a territorial configuration is the most suitable spatial level to analyse and understand how firms acquire external knowledge for their innovation processes (Varis & Littunen, 2012). Since regional innovation is positively related to knowledge spill-overs, several studies support that the regional attractiveness for firms is based on the region`s knowledge-intensiveness, as well as in the high concentration of knowledge capital, and resources to market new ideas (Fritsch andFranke, 2004, cited by Beugelsdijk, 2009).…”

“…Many studies argue that enterprise-related factors are particularly important for the development of innovation in peripheral regions. These can be, for example, the absorption capacity of the enterprise, the size of the company, and effective strategic planning [39][40][41]77,78]. Some authors point to the importance of the internal performance of the enterprise organization in innovative processes [40,49].…”
