Using Spatial Methods in Strategy Research
نویسندگان
چکیده
Spatial and geographic constructs have been incorporated into strategy research since its inception. Yet, strategy researchers have been slow to take advantage of methods designed specifically for these variables. This is despite the fact that spatial methods can be used to identify and remediate spatial autocorrelation—eliminating a potentially important source of bias in empirical results—and more broadly, to test hypotheses about spatial phenomena in novel ways. This article reviews the use of spatial constructs and variables in strategy research, summarizes spatial methods relevant to the strategy field, and shows how these approaches can enhance strategy research. The authors demonstrate the utility of these methods for a wide range of empirical inquiries into the role of geographic space in firm location, competition, and other phenomena, and offer three specific illustrations of their usefulness in the context of international strategy research.

Introduction: The present study investigated the role of the Basolateral Amygdala (BLA) N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors in stress-induced spatial memory disturbance among the male Wistar rats. Methods: The male Wistar rats (Average weight =200 g) were cannulated bilaterally in the BLA, and entered the study (n=6-8) after one week. They received seven electro–foot-shock stress sessions o...
متن کاملA Differential Evolution and Spatial Distribution based Local Search for Training Fuzzy Wavelet Neural Network
Abstract Many parameter-tuning algorithms have been proposed for training Fuzzy Wavelet Neural Networks (FWNNs). Absence of appropriate structure, convergence to local optima and low speed in learning algorithms are deficiencies of FWNNs in previous studies. In this paper, a Memetic Algorithm (MA) is introduced to train FWNN for addressing aforementioned learning lacks. Differential Evolution...
