Abstract
This article is a reflection on the enormous debt that I owe Loet for his kindness, generosity and intellectual mentorship. This is over a period of some twenty years. Loet also became part of the Centre for Innovation Management Research (CIMR) at Birkbeck, University of London. In one of our final articles together, Loet drew the different stands of his work together by exploring synergies in scholarship of members of CIMR.
