This symposium assembles four studies which add to the burgeoning literature on the causes and consequences of employee mobility and entrepreneurship, with a diversity of disciplinary approaches, levels of analysis, and empirical contexts. While providing such diversity, the papers examine a coherent set of questions which advance research on knowledge spillovers and human capital. The symposium should be of interest to scholars of business policy and strategy, entrepreneurship, and technology and innovation management."
