Resumo(s)
Innovation today is an important means for firms to achieve
competitive advantage, but few firms recognise the importance of cooperation
in developing innovative processes. This paper is a study of cooperation in
innovation in southern Europe (Portugal, Spain, Greece and Italy) and analyses
how R&D, incoming spillovers, public support, appropriability of innovation,
financial constraints on innovation, firm size and sector can contribute to cooperative behaviour in firms. The literature review demonstrates that
cooperation encompasses sharing R&D costs and risks, reducing duplication
spillovers, internalisation and introducing other benefits. This paper uses
Community Innovation Survey (CIS 4) micro-data for the four southern
European countries in question and applies a logistic regression in order to
study cooperative behaviour in innovation. We believe that the results relative
to these countries will provide important clues as to different arrangements of
cooperation between firms and will highlight innovation patterns between
them.
