Abstract

Cooperation for research and development (R%D) has become a widely studied and distinctive characteristic in the discussion on innovation and competitiveness. So far, the R%D partnering 'game' has been played and studied in the connection of Western economies, but this study addresses it from the perspective of a developing economy. A survey of 206 Russian companies was done to analyse the level of cooperation for R%D in Russian firms. The aim was to find the link between increased R%D investments and collaborative actions taken by a firm. The results show that Russian firms use their R%D collaborations to a certain extent to gain knowledge absorption, and by so amend their own competencies and skills. A positive correlation between the ratio of R%D costs and cooperation with external partners for R%D was also found.
