“…In some OECD countries such as Canada, governments use plenty of initiatives and instruments to enhance SMEs' innovative capacity and internationalization (Halilem, Bertrand, Cloutier, Landry, & Amara, 2012). Technology grants and export promotion programs are examples of these initiatives (Chetty & Stangl, 2009).…”

“…Technology grants and export promotion programs are examples of these initiatives (Chetty & Stangl, 2009). Innovation policy instruments can foster product as well as process innovation (Halilem et al, 2012). However, regarding internationalization, public support tends to be more oriented on the outward (such as export) instead of the inward side (import) (Holmlund et al, 2007;Korhonen, Luostarinen, & Welch, 1996).…”

“…Organizations receive more trade policy support for the latter than for the former (Matschke, 2008). For example, they are supported in their participation in international fairs and exhibitions for the purpose of reducing the costs related to market entry (Halilem et al, 2012). However, the most common SME internationalization operation order seems to be first on the inward side (Wright et al, 2007), which helps SMEs develop a network and knowledge about a new market (Holmlund et al, 2007).…”

This article seeks to provide more insights on the two‐way link between internationalization and innovation by considering total, direct, and reciprocal effects using a nonrecursive structural model. Innovation is defined through product and process development, while internationalization is defined through inward and outward internationalization in both closer and farther markets. The results suggest that these two major sources of growth are linked by different sets of relations, from the investment in product and process innovation to outward internationalization in a closer market, or from inward and outward internationalization in farther markets to the investment in product innovation.

“…These findings spurred great interest in research on the employment contribution of SMEs worldwide, with scholars concluding that SMEs contribute to 70% to 90% of all new jobs that are created (Davidsson et al 1995, Armington, Acs 2002, Santarelli, Tran 2012. Previous research has shown that in addition to playing a vital role in the creation of employment opportunity, startups and SMEs are involved in creating industrial renewal, export income, and innovation (Halilem et al 2012, Agostini et al 2015, Love, Roper 2015, as well as acting as a dynamic influence to lagging areas (Keeble 1997, Gordon, McCann 2005, Doh, Kim 2014 (Keeble 1997, Gordon, McCann 2005, Doh, Kim 2014. Therefore, governments in most nations have developed different types of programs to support SMEs and startups (Bateman 2000, Perren, Jennings 2005.…”

Abstract. Entrepreneurs are at the core of economic development in that they start new businesses or make existing firms grow. To fulfill this important role, entrepreneurs need access to financing. Owing to information asymmetry and the relatively high risk associated with business startups, many financiers shy away from engaging in relationships with firms during the early stages of their development. Based on the existing body of knowledge on the financing of entrepreneurship, we know that insider finance is of paramount importance in the early stages of firms' development. We expand this knowledge base by analyzing the influence of house prices on business startups across municipalities in Sweden. In our analysis, we include data from all municipalities in Sweden. Our data on house prices and control variables are collected in period one, and our data on the frequency of startups are collected in period two. We find that rising house prices in a municipality lead to a higher frequency of startups. In our spatial Durbin model, we find that a 1% increase in house prices leads to around 0.15% increase in startups. Our findings are in line with the limited international research that has been previously conducted, and therefore, our study might make a small but vital addition to this growing body of knowledge within the area of entrepreneurship and regional development.JEL classification: R11, R31, M13

“…Context from (Ahmad & Daghfous, 2010;Clark et al, 1997;García-Fernández, 2015;Halilem, Bertrand, Cloutier, Landry, & Amara, 2012) asserts this perspective very clearly by explaining that in this information age, even though knowledge cannot readily be identified on any balance sheet, it is identified as the singularly most valuable asset for a business or organisation. Therefore, the interpretive praxis for knowledge schema could be debated at length as there is no such thing as 'normal knowledge'.…”

In this discussion, we consider the unity of knowledge, and deliberate acontrary perspective from current knowledge transfer practitioners, in abusiness context. We consider why, if knowledge is key for businesssuccess and competitive advantage, the transfer of knowledge remains forthe most part a problematic event. Further, if the creation of knowledgebefore transfer is recognised within literature as a significant factor indetermining a starting point for analogous scrutiny, then why is this focalpoint difficult to establish and measure.
