“…Other channels for obtaining the know‐who of overseas sources include sources elsewhere in the country and local intermediary organizations. Some argue that “temporary clusters,” such as trade fairs, exhibitions, conferences, and the like, are designed to facilitate this type of network building (Panitz & Glückler, ).…”

There is a dearth of systematic evidence concerning the extent to which being located in economically advantaged regions assists firms in accessing knowledge from global sources. This paper explores the issue by utilizing data from a survey of firms in the UK. It shows that local knowledge sourcing widely assists firms in economically advantaged regions by acting as a springboard for international knowledge sourcing, whilst this is not the case for their counterparts in disadvantaged regions. The analysis suggests that the springboard effect and the geography of external knowledge networks are associated with regional economic context.

“…The sequencing of explorative and in-depth interviews, formal network surveys and analysis, communicative validation and reflection in action, facilitates a cyclical process of theorization and validation. Concepts such as the 'rewiring' of global networks in temporary events (Glückler/Panitz 2015;Panitz/Glückler 2017) or lateral network governance (Glückler 2020), also emanated from applying the sequencing process of SONA.…”

The study of networks has been characterized by a dualism of methods. Researchers either use interpretive methods to explore the quality of social relations, or quantitative methods to assess the formal structure of network connectivity. However, because relational and structural characteristics of networks are interdependent, we present a method for Situational Organizational Network Analysis to overcome this dualism. In sequencing and integrating qualitative, quantitative and action research techniques, SONA is designed to help unveil authentic understandings of socially meaningful structure in compliance with research ethics. Drawing on a decade of research experience we describe the workings of this integrative method and elaborate on its valued-added compared to single methods. Building on selected applications, we demonstrate how the tailored use of SONA enhances cross-validation, supports original theory-building, and empowers reflexive transformative research.

“…In this case, the field might or might not evolve into a full-fledged field with a well-defined set of norms and meanings, based in repetitive and standardized relationships among the actors. Here, the field is depicted more as a temporary collective arrangement of actors dragged together by an attention vortex created by environmental jolts and field-configuring events, such as conferences (Garud, 2008;Hardy & Maguire, 2010), ceremonies (Anand & Jones, 2008;Anand & Watson, 2004), crises (Desai, 2011;Sine & David, 2003), and other kinds of social and natural events (Glynn, 2008;Tilcsik & Marquis, 2013) that bring actors together in space and time and reinvigorate existing structures and relationships (Panitz & Glückler, 2017).…”

Network Structure and Collective Cognition The concept of the organizational field is central to organization theory. Despite its influence, the construct suffers from a lack of precise definition. Most theorists accept structuration as the core dynamic through which fields emerge (Scott, 1994) and, as a result, most definitions of organizational fields contain an element of structure or place, on one hand, and an element of collective meaning or cognition on the other. These two components of organizational fields-place and meaning-have an uncomfortable relationship with each other. Although most definitions of fields acknowledge that organizational fields are simultaneously spatial patterns of interaction of participants and their common meaning systems, there is no clear understanding of how a shared network structure can lead to collective cognition. As a result, most empirical applications of organizational fields tend to emphasize one element (structure or cognition) over the other. We seek to address this issue by introducing time, history and, most importantly, memory as the bridging mechanism that connects the structural and cognitive elements of organizational fields. We observe that institutional theorists have traditionally adopted the metaphor of fields as either geographical or symbolic structures, but largely neglected the understanding that fields are also temporal structures. As Barley and Tolbert (1997, p. 99) have argued, institutions are "historical accretions of past practices and understandings that set conditions on actions" as they "gradually acquire the moral and ontological status of taken-for-granted facts" (emphasis added). We apply this insight to the construct of fields, arguing that fields are
