“…This provides evidence that the local patenting environment is moderating firms' true state dependence and that local knowledge spillovers contribute to firms' innovation persistence. This is consistent with the findings in Tavassoli and Karlsson (2018) who observe higher persistence for product and process innovations in regions with a greater number of innovative firms. Our results also provide empirical support to the argument put forward in Castellani (2017) that a strong local flow of knowledge can lead to persistence in innovation activities.…”

“…On the other hand, a similarly extensive body of research deals with local knowledge spillovers in innovation and their role for spatial concentration of innovation activities (see Audretsch and Feldmann, 2004;Carlino and Kerr, 2015;Audretsch and Feldman, 1996;Feldman and Audretsch, 1999;Simmie, 2002;Thompson, 2006). There are few works, however, that have combined the two strands and have looked at the role of local knowledge spillovers for the persistence of a firm's innovation activity (Tavassoli and Karlsson, 2018, is a recent exception). In this paper, we bring together these two strands.…”

Abstract:Recent empirical evidence has shown that firm's innovation behavior exhibits high persistency but not much is known about potential contingencies affecting the degree of persistence. This paper focuses on the role of the local knowledge environment and asks how local knowledge spillovers affect firms' innovation persistence. The empirical analysis draws upon a representative panel data set of firms in Germany from 2002-2016, complemented by detailed geographic information of patent activity over discrete distances to proxy local knowledge spillovers. Based on correlated random effects probit models that control for state dependence, unobserved individual heterogeneity and endogenous initial conditions, our results corroborate former evidence that persistency in innovation is driven by true state dependence. More importantly, we find that the local patenting activity positively moderates firms´ degree of persistency in innovation behavior. This is a novel firm-level mechanism that can explain the widening of spatial disparities in innovation performance. Estimations with different distance bands show that the strength of knowledge spillovers that contribute to innovation persistence via true state dependence declines rather rapidly with increasing distance.

“…Davis (1953) developed seminal research, known as Theoretical Lens, Informal Communication and the Grapevine, which revealed several characteristics of the wine sector as a cluster. In the 1990s, Porter introduced the theory of cluster development, emphasising the importance of location, which is the geographical concentration of specialised organisations (Tavassoli and Karlsson 2017). Those theories allowed the interconnection between organisations aiming at cooperation and ‘coopetition’ in a specific area, resulting in a competitive advantage to the ecosystem (Moore 1996, Adner 2006, Tavassoli and Karlsson 2017).…”

Background and Aims: Some studies bring different visions of innovation among the stakeholders of the wine sector; however, there is a gap in our understanding of the characteristics of and the relationship between the ecosystem and the stakeholders. This study aims to identify and measure critical success factors (CSFs) of the wine innovation ecosystem. Methods and Results: A mixed-method approach with 29 qualitative questionnaires for wine managers, and a survey of 138 wine managers from Brazilian wine regions were employed. The survey validated 30 critical factors that were identified from the literature and which were validated in the qualitative research. The critical factors were then submitted to a support factorial analysis, resulting in 27 CSFs related to six new dimensions of the wine ecosystem. The dimensions identified by the factorial analysis were evaluated by indicators and measured for four clusters of companies. Conclusions: The study identified the dimensions and CSFs related to four Brazilian winery clusters: (i) medium businessbusinesses focused on social and economic entrepreneurship; (ii) large business-focused on entrepreneurship and leadership in the development of sustainable products and services; (iii) startup-expanding businesses focused on economic growth; and (iv) small business-focused on entrepreneurship and innovation for a sustainable economy. Significance of the Study: This study demonstrated the benefit of using dimensions and CSFs to create innovative strategies to improve the competitiveness and performance of the wine ecosystem.

This study aims to examine the influence of the political environment and the economic environment on the welfare of society. The independent variable of this research is the political environment and the economic environment and its dependent variable is the welfare of society. This type of research is descriptive quantitative. The type of data used is the primary data using ordinal scale. The population is 295 respondents with selected sample type with Purposive Sampling as many as 205 respondents spread in North Sumatera Province. Analyzer used with Structural Equation Modeling approach with SMART-PLS software. The results show that the variables of the political environment and the economic environment affect the welfare of the people.
