Item The evolution of the domestic network configuration as a driver of international relationships in smes(International Business Review, 2018) Montoro Sánchez, María Ángeles; Díez Vial, Isabel; Belso Martínez, José AntonioThe objective of this research is to study the influence of the evolution of the domestic clustered network on the development of the international relationships of firms. Building on international business theory and the dynamic geographically bounded networks approach, and using a social network analysis methodology, we analyse how increasing the number of contacts and the betweenness role of the firm, as well as the diversity and density of the domestic network, can allow firms to more easily establish international links.Item Research evolution in science parks and incubators: foundations and new trends(Scientometrics, 2017) Díez Vial, Isabel; Montoro Sánchez, María ÁngelesIn this paper we undertake a quantitative review of the existing literature on parks and incubators to identify their foundations from a longitudinal perspective. To do so, we searched records in the SSCI database from 1990 to 2015 and identified 318 citing documents, which we split into four periods of 5 years each, to identify the interactions and path dependence that exist between different foundations of research. We evaluate the evolution of the theoretical foundations of this research line taking into account changes in citations over time. We also identify areas of future research closely connected with the theoretical foundations already identified. For this purpose, we used two bibliometric techniques—co-citation analysis and bibliographic coupling—that enable us to assess the thematic similarity between scientific publications based on overlaps in their referencing patterns.Item How knowledge links with universities may foster innovation: The case of a science park(Technovation, 2016) Díez Vial, Isabel; Montoro Sánchez, María ÁngelesThe objective of this research is to evaluate how technological knowledge flows from universities may increase innovation by firms located in a science park. We propose that firms with the capacity to acquire and assimilate the knowledge provided by universities, mainly due to being academic spin-offs or having long-term relationships with them, receive more knowledge from universities. We also argue that firms located in central positions inside the local firm-network have access to a complementary source of technical knowledge. Empirical evidence gathered from the Madrid Science Park confirms that having long-term relationships with universities, based on both formal and informal interactions, is the most important means of obtaining technical knowledge from them. We also observed a positive relationship between the technological knowledge obtained from universities and the innovation carried out by firms. Finally, we confirmed that firms with a significant role as intermediaries between other co-located firms have a higher level of innovation even if they are not involved in relationships with the universityItem The evolution of the domestic network configuration as a driver of international relationships in SMEs(International Business Review, 2018) Montoro Sánchez, María Ángeles; Díez Vial, Isabel; Belso Martínez, José AntonioThe objective of this research is to study the influence of the evolution of the domestic clustered network on the development of the international relationships of firms. Building on international business theory and the dynamic geographically bounded networks approach, and using a social network analysis methodology, we analyse how increasing the number of contacts and the betweenness role of the firm, as well as the diversity and density of the domestic network, can allow firms to more easily establish international links.- Project number: 31
Item Salud y bienestar desde la práctica deportiva: adquisición de competencias en asignaturas de Dirección de Empresas(2023) Delgado Verde, Miriam; Amores Salvado, Javier; Cruz González, Jorge; Curiel Franco, Juan Carlos; Díez Vial, Isabel; Estévez Mendoza, Carlos Isidoro; González Masip, Jaime Juan; Martín De Castro, Gregorio; Martín Rocañín, Gonzalo David; Montoro Sánchez, María Ángeles; Navas López, José Emilio; Pardo García, Rodrigo; Romero Moreno, Rosa Item From incubation to maturity inside parks: the evolution of local knowledge networks(International Journal of Technology Management, 2017) Díez Vial, Isabel; Montoro Sánchez, María ÁngelesThis paper analyses the effect of the evolution of local knowledge networks on the innovative capacity of firms co-located. Using a network dynamic approach, this paper argues that the length of time that firms spend in a science park affects their local knowledge network. By the identification of three stages of local development-incubation, growth and maturity-, this study provides new insights about the role of science parks in both increasing their innovative capacity and promoting the exchange of knowledge among co-located firms. In this sense, science parks have been increasingly considered as a nurturing environment for business start-ups and lead to the development of growth-oriented firms, not being a consensus about how the length of time the firm spends in the park may affect these benefits.Item International gatekeepers: how to integrate domestic networks and international relations(International Business Review, 2020) Díez Vial, Isabel; Montoro Sánchez, María ÁngelesThis research evaluates how firms develop an intermediary role, connecting their international experience with knowledge provided by the domestic network. These firms act as international gatekeepers, providing valuable knowledge about distant markets to their partners in the domestic network. By adopting a network perspective, we mapped from whom the firms obtain knowledge or the kind of relationship that each firm establishes with other members of the network, disentangling how the gatekeeper can, in fact, integrate international and domestic networks. Empirical evidence indicates that gatekeepers develop a domestic network based on closed relationships with domestic partners that have central positions but are not a real threat for them.
