Sloves, Alexandra N. "The Impact of Geographic Proximity to Silicon Valley on the Success of New Ventures." Scholarship @ Claremont, 2013. http://scholarship.claremont.edu/cmc_theses/795.

Abstract:

This paper seeks to understand the role of proximity to Silicon Valley and the Silicon Valley network effect on venture success. Despite the wealth of literature on the role and importance of geographic proximity in the venture capital process, no studies have specifically examined the impact of geographic proximity to Silicon Valley on venture success. I build my study on existing literature but deviate from past research in the following ways: first, I narrow the research question to the relationship between geographic proximity to Silicon Valley and successful exit; second, I consider succe

Abstract:

The concept of proximity is an important aspect of human reasoning. Despite the diversity of applications that require proximity measures, the most intuitive notion is that of spatial nearness. The aim of this thesis is to investigate the underpinnings of the notion of nearness, propose suitable formalisations and apply them to the processing of GIS data. More particularly, this work offers a framework for spatial proximity that supports the development of more intuitive tools for users of geographic data processing applications. Many of the existing spatial reasoning formalisms do not accoun

Abstract:

Background: Due to the dynamic business environment and acceleration of technological renewal the need to pursue newest knowledge becomes crucial and more and more challenging for companies. Traditionally firms tended to keep R&D in-house but now they have to search for alternative approach to innovation, namely open innovation. Science parks are claimed to facilitate the process of inter-organizational collaboration and open innovation, in particular due to geographic proximity of on-park actors. Aim: This research is aimed to investigate the influence of geographic proximity of companies

Abstract:

The purpose of this study is to investigate implications of geographic location for firm strategy and for the competitive climate in emerging higher technology industries. Hypotheses are generated based on concepts from institutional theory, transaction costs economics, economic geography, and strategic management. Specifically, tests are conducted to determine whether there is an association between establishments' geographic locations and the incidence of two collective strategies: strategic isomorphism and strategic complementarity. These tests are performed with respect to the U. S. flbero

Abstract:

Contemporary research on externalities from FDI suffers from two central problems. First, estimates of such externalities may be biased when FDI is endogenous to the empirical model. Second, there is an important lack in empirical research regarding the identification of structural factors influencing the type and level of FDI-induced externalities. The goal of the thesis is to address both issues. It starts with a theoretical discussion of FDI and externalities, followed by an overview of contemporary empirical research, highlighting the main estimation problems. Next, theories of agglomerati

Abstract:

Small businesses located in the most sparsely populated and peripheral parts of Europe are frequently believed to be marginalised with respect to the processes of economic globalisation. This thesis proposes to explore an alternative perspective for understanding how small businesses that are located at the geographical margins engage with the globalised economy. Distance is no longer a purely physical phenomenon. Meanwhile, networks are considered to be the primary means for small firms to mobilise external resources and stay competitive. Acknowledging these conceptual shifts, this thesis exp

This research explored the social and psychological needs of caregivers of advanced cancer patients, and their subsequent bereavement adjustment. The study focuses exclusively on informal caregivers who provide assistance to patients receiving hospice care for end-stage cancer. Those individuals living furthest from the dying care recipient, the long distance caregivers, were of particular interest. This study used a prospective design to explore how a caregiver's geographic proximity impacted their social support and bereavement adjustment. A 2 x 3 repeated measures design was used to gather

However, these studies utilize theories derived from static pre-war measures of capabilities and motivation to explain late joining; indeed, the same measures that fail to predict participation at war's outset.

Abstract:

As society moves towards being more and more digitalised, so does agriculture as well. Hopefully these digital tools will help us reach environmental goals through optimizing the use of resources in the agricultural sector. However, there are a few barriers to overcome for the digital transition to run smoothly. This thesis investigates a small portion of the agricultural innovation network in Sweden. This is done through multiple interviews and literary research. We can clearly see how this innovation network during the last decades has moved towards becoming more knowledge centered and how t

Abstract:

L'arboriculture de la Moyenne Vallée du Rhône, concurrencée par les pays à faible coût de production, subit une importante crise structurelle. Dans ce contexte, nous interrogeons les liens existants entre l'arboriculture et ses territoires. Ils peuvent en effet constituer des ressources mobilisées par les acteurs locaux pour développer des formes de valorisation territoriale. Le modèle productif historique de l'arboriculture de la Moyenne Vallée du Rhône, celui de bassin de production-expédition, est aujourd'hui remis en question par deux tensions opposées. La première, dite " centrifuge ", es

Abstract:

Dans un contexte d’intérêt renouvelé pour les questions alimentaires et notamment les circuits de production, de distribution et de commercialisation des produits, cette thèse s’intéresse à une forme du commerce non sédentaire : le marché de plein vent alimentaire. Ce dernier ne représente plus qu’une part marginale dans les dépenses des ménages et au sein du commerce de détail alimentaire. Alors que dans les années 1980, plusieurs indices semblaient indiquer sa disparition prochaine, ce commerce s’est maintenu et connaît même des formes de renouveau déjà identifiées par quelques chercheurs.

Abstract:

Face aux hypothèses de mobilité généralisée de la société et d'affaiblissement de la dimension territoriale, il est démontré dans cette recherche l'importance du territoire de proximité - la maison et le quartier - en tant que support, et lieu personnel et stratégique permettant aux individus de surmonter les tensions qu'entraîne la modernité. Les individus sont, en effet, à la recherche d'un équilibre oscillant entre nomadisme et ancrage. Ainsi, il apparaît que la mobilité, bien loin de s'opposer, trouve à s'articuler avec l'ancrage dans la proximité.En concentrant les apports de la Géographi

Abstract:

As inovações, como aquelas invenções comercialmente viáveis, são processos fundamentais para o desenvolvimento econômico e social de regiões e de países. Em especial, a produção dessas inovações depende do território onde se pretende realizá-la, este considerado como o espaço onde se dão as relações sociais que promovem a aprendizagem e a cooperação voltadas à geração de novidades nas atividades produtivas. Este estudo se propôs a analisar os aspectos territoriais relacionados à produção de inovações no Estado do Rio Grande do Sul, situado na porção mais meridional do Brasil, nos últimos 20 an

Abstract:

La mise en oeuvre des pôles de compétitivité, dès 2006, fait partie d’une politique gouvernementale de soutien aux entreprises et aux territoires visant à mieux positionner la France dans la compétition économique internationale. L’objectif est de renforcer le tissu industriel de certaines régions par une forte injection d’investissements publics dans des projets liés à l’innovation et à l’internationalisation des entreprises. Cette thèse traite des effets de l’installation du pôle de compétitivité ‘Arve Industries’ et, en particulier, du degré d’implication des PME locales dans cette démarche

Dans un contexte où l'importance croissante de la mondialisation des flux migratoires en provenance de la région caraïbéenne s'intensifie et se diversifie, une prise en compte plus détaillée de l'évolution des stratégies de migrants au sein des sociétés d'accueil et de leur impact socioéconomique et politique sur les sociétés de départ s'impose. Notre thèse déclinée en trois parties s'inscrit précisément dans une réflexion sur l'engagement associatif à distance du migrant-acteur haïtien et jamaïcain, dans un cadre institutionnel français pour l'un et britannique pour l'autre.
