Abstract

This paper analyses the impact of cooperation strategies on incremental innovation capacity, and the determinants of the cooperative arrangements for innovation. More precisely, the authors identify the cooperation strategies that should be preferred in the case of incremental innovation and the determinants of cooperation for innovation, depending on the partner with whom cooperation is established. The data they use come from the National Innovation Survey. The authors' results suggest, on the one hand, that incremental innovation is achieved through vertical and institutional cooperation (except universities). On the other hand, it has proved that there are complementarities between the various cooperation strategies for innovation and that the determinants of cooperation differ significantly between partners. Furthermore, the results confirm the interdependence of cooperation strategies revealing heterogeneity in the determinants of cooperation strategies. These findings and their implications are discussed.
