Abstract The recent widespread interest of policy in entrepreneurial ecosystems has been complemented by a burgeoning academic research output. This to date may be broadly categorized as focusing on place, actors, governance, and evolution. Of these groupings, evolutionary processes have paid least attention despite their centrality dynamic ecosystem phenomenon that evolves from an origin through growth, adaptation, resilience. To redress this imbalance, we frame future agenda ecosystems....
This article reports on a longitudinal process study of the critical role anchor MNEs in metamorphosis high-tech industrial cluster into local entrepreneurial ecosystem. It draws ecosystem and international business literatures to frame genesis evolutionary processes an that emerged from two MNE subsidiaries, both which had evolved advanced R&D centres excellence around technology specialism. shows how multiple new venture spinouts by former employees introduced technological heterogeneity...
This article deals with interviewing reluctant respondents. The analysis is used to construct a process-oriented model of respondent rapport and empathy. By assessing in reflective way, the contributes sociology knowledge generation construction reality complex social phenomena. Using authors’ experiences particular interview episode, stages building researcher— relationship are assessed, providing guidance lessons for future researchers. limitations approach considered suggestions research made.
The pandemic crisis caused a severe shock to global value chains and led supply shortages for complex medical goods such as respiratory ventilators. What followed were calls reshore production security, the loss of efficiencies from foreign chain (GVC) operations multinational enterprise. This article merges internalization GVC theory demonstrate dynamic hierarchy managerial response these conditions. An optimally configured under governance can resiliently eliminate line ruptures yet...
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explain how some born global firms can leverage the rich social capital in their local (home country) horizontal network for accelerated international market entry and growth. Horizontal networks warrant separate attention from vertical counterparts, which, along with those focussed on external contexts, dominate most studies realm research. Design/methodology/approach study utilises a multi-level qualitative approach multi-firm population animators...
Abstract Research Summary Upgrading and governance in global value chains (GVCs) have been understood mainly through studying the buyer–supplier transaction, where supplier is typically an independent contractor from a developing economy. Little known about how subsidiaries of multinational enterprises (MNEs) can upgrade GVC, whose core activities are coordinated “hierarchy” model. Using in‐depth longitudinal single case study medical devices industry, we explain subsidiary accomplish...
The debate concerning the emerging regulatory environment for employee voice continues apace, in particular requirements to inform and consult employees as a result of European Employee Information Consultation Directive. This article examines processes used across 15 case studies Republic Ireland. It evaluates different arrangements using conceptual framework that seeks capture dynamics schemes union non-union companies. findings suggest participation is more robust when channels...
Giblin M. and Ryan P. Tight clusters or loose networks? The critical role of inward foreign direct investment in cluster creation, Regional Studies. purpose this paper is to investigate the instigating a clustering process. In particular, study examines situation which initially attracted region as result public policy initiatives rather than existence sophisticated local capabilities. Under these circumstances, presence large foreign-owned multinational corporations shown knowledge...
With the continued scaling of CMOS devices below 10 nm node, process technologies become more and challenging as allowable thermal budget for device processing continuously reduces. This is especially case during epitaxial growth, where a reduction required number potential reasons example to avoid uncontrolled layer relaxation strained layers, surface reflow narrow fin structures, well doping diffusion material intermixing. Further aspects even when Ge used high-mobility channel concept...
High-technology companies operate in a dynamic and unstable environment due to rapidly changing technologies consumer tastes. An increasing number of are engaging joint R&D projects subvent the constraints competitiveness this turbulent environment. Collaborative activity has been studied from perspectives strategic management [Dodgson (1992)], organizational behavior [Powell et al. (1996)], operations [Nooteboom (2000)] business-to-business marketing [Turnbull (1996)]. Within...
Abstract Underpinned theoretically by the capabilities perspective, purpose of this study is to identify in high‐technology activity within Irish economy. A deeper understanding that underscore economy at present needed determine strengths build on and how they can be cultivated for future economic growth. In particular, focuses evolution capabilities, both technological those are more intangible, such as managerial expertise their source development. The argument underpinning analysing...
We have developed a novel in-line solution for the characterization and metrology of high-aspect ratio (HAR) semiconductor structures using transmission small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). The consists Sirius-XCD® tool, NanoDiffract XCD (NDX) analysis software high-performance computing infrastructure. provides quantitative information on orientation shape HAR structures, such as 3D NAND channel holes DRAM capacitors, can be used development control critical etch processes in formation...
The performance of heterogeneous 3D transistor structures critically depends on the composition and strain state buffer, channel source/drain regions. In this paper we used an in-line high resolution x-ray diffraction (HRXRD) tool to study in detail selectively grown SiGe/Ge fin with widths down 20 nm. For purpose arranged fins identical dimensions into larger arrays which were then analyzed using beam several tens micrometers size. Asymmetric reciprocal space maps measured both parallel...
The performance of heterogeneous 3D transistor structures critically depends on the composition and strain state buffer, channel, source/drain regions. In this paper we discuss value in‐line high resolution X‐ray diffraction (HRXRD) measurements based three representative examples. First, analyzed etched Ge fins in two in‐plane directions. We could verify a loss channel after growth Si cap which attribute to reflow. Secondly, studied relaxed SiGe selectively grown an STI matrix where found...
This article reports on the stages of developing respondent rapport and affinity during qualitative research interview process. It advances knowledge in terms dialogue collection data its subsequent analysis. The assesses how researchers overcame a cautious suspicious reception from respondents. interviewees were trade union leaders who had been ‘requested’ by management to partake research. paper will detail not only overcome leaders’ suspicions but it also explicate process good can be...
The nature of born global firms which from inception, seek to derive significant competitive advantage the use resources and sales outputs in multiple countries remains poorly understood. Given lack globals tend have compared with larger international competitors importance social capital network ties addressing their liabilities newness smallness received some attention. However, how these actually operate nuances inside networks are as yet not fully This paper seeks address this knowledge...
