Acknowledgements

Editing this research book about knowledge, learning, and innovation has taken a long time but is well worth the effort. Originally, the idea for this book came together because of the joint interests of the coeditors in how cross-sector collaboration is affecting firms in terms of their entrepreneurial capabilities and internationalization. There is a current trend toward cross-sector collaboration, and this can take a variety of different forms depending on the cultural and social context of the firms involved. We thank the authors who, coming from a diverse range of countries contributed with chapters to this book, and to the peer reviewers. Each of the coeditors would like to thank the following. Vanessa thanks he
