Abstract

HUBER P. (2003) On the determinants of cross-border cooperation of Austrian firms with Central and Eastern European partners , Reg. Studies 37 , 947-955. We analyse cross-border cooperation of Austrian firms with CEEC partners. Firm size, previous experience with cooperation and depth of integration with the most important partner are more important determinants of cooperation than distance to the closest potential partner. Firms with experience of cooperation are more likely to enter business relationships and less likely not to cooperate. Small firms are unlikely to cooperate in incentive contracts, while firms which are part of production networks typically cooperate in business and ownership relationships. Distance to the closest potential partner increases the probability of not cooperating and reduces the probability of ownership relationships. HUBER P. (2003) A propos des dé terminants de la coopération transfrontalière entre les entreprises autrichiennes et leurs partenaires des pays de l'Europe centrale et orientale, Reg. Studies 37 , 947-955. Cet article cherche à analyser la coopération transfrontalière entre les entreprises autrichiennes et leurs partenaires des PECO. La taille de l' entreprise, l'expérience préalable et le degré d'intégration dans le principal partenaire sont plus importants comme déterminants de la coopération que ne l'est la distance au partenaire éventuel le plus proche. Les entreprises qui ont de l'expérience préalable sont plus susceptibles d'entamer des relations d'affaires et sont moins susceptibles de ne pas coopérer. Il est peu probable que les petites entreprises coopèrent pour passer des contrats avec primes de rendement, alors que les entreprises qui font partie intégrante des réseaux de production coopèrent comme d'habitude dans des relations d'affaires et de propriété. La distance au partenaire éventuel le plus proche augmente la probabilité d'un refus de coopération et réduit la probabilité des relations de propriété. HUBER P (2003) Über bestimmende Faktoren grenzüberschreitender Zusammenarbeit österreichischer Firmen mit mittel-und osteuropäischen Partnern, Reg. Studies 37 , 947-955. Die grenzüberschreitende Zusammenarbeit österreichischer Firmen mit CEEC (mittel-und osteuropaischen) Partnern wird analysiert. Firmengröße, frühere Zusammenarbeit und Ausmaß der Integration mit den bedeutendsten Partnern sind wichtigere Bestimmungsfaktoren als Entfernung zum nächsten potentiellen Partner. Firmen, die bereits Erfahrung mit Zusammenarbeit haben, sind eher geneigt, Geschäftsverbindungen einzugehen, und weniger, eine solche abzulehnen. Es ist unwahrscheinlich, daß kleine Firmen einer Mitarbeit in Anreizkontrakten zustimmen, während Firmen, die bereits Teil eines Produktionsnetzwerks sind, typisch Geschäfts-und Besitzverbindungen eingehen. Entfernung zum nächst gelegenen potentiellen Partner verringert die Wahrscheinlichkeit einer Zusammenarbeit, und reduziert die von Besitzverbindungen.
