    We investigate the role of industry and region-specific conditions for the survival of new businesses in innovative and in other manufacturing industries. The data comprises all German manufacturing start-ups of the 1992 to 2005 period. In contrast to studies for some other countries, we find that businesses in innovative industries have higher survival rates than businesses in other manufacturing industries. Moreover, the chances of survival for innovative industries are rather immune to changes, regarding regional and industry-specific conditions, whereas businesses in the other manufacturing industries are strongly affected. These findings highlight that resistance to adverse conditions is dependent on industry specific opportunities and technological conditions.

    There is substantial empirical evidence that innovation is geographically concentrated. Unlike what is generally assumed, however, it is not clear that localised knowledge spillovers provide a theoretically valid explanation for this. Studying spillovers of cost-reducing technology between Cournot oligopolists we show that 1) localised knowledge spillovers of any level do encourage agglomeration, but 2) whether this leads to higher levels of effective R&D depends on the type and level of knowledge spillovers, the number of firms, and the industry's R&D efficiency.

    Ambient advertising is a creative, innovative form of outdoor advertising that explicitly intends to surprise consumers by placing unexpected advertisements at unusual locations. The rising relevance of ambient advertising is not mirrored in marketing literature yet. No study has empirically considered the key elements of location and execution of ambient advertising. This paper uses a mixed-method approach to (1) identifying the locational and executional elements used in ambient advertising practice and (2) to analyzing the effectiveness of ambient advertising. Study 1 (n=340) reveals that ambient advertising mainly uses unconventional 2D elements often combined with unexpected visual elements such as optical illusion. Study 2 (n=234) examines that advertisements using unconventional location and execution have a stronger impact on consumer perception (e.g. attention, attitude towards the ad) than conventional outdoor advertising. The paper provides contributions for marketing managers and further research.
