Green and McNaughton address the role of proximity in network formation and performance. They compile contributions from noted academics across several countries and disciplines. The mix of chapters both theoretical and applied are of critical interest to both firms and economic development agencies whose mandate is to assist firm growth and internationalization through local networks and clusters of firms. Required reading for researchers wanting to stay abreast of recent developments on the topic and for practitioners interested in fostering or implementing network strategies as an aid to firm growth and internationalization.
