Abstract

L'objectif de cet article est d'analyser les comportements d'innovation et d'expliquer les variations géographiques des stratégies d'innovation des entreprises de Services à Forte Intensité de Connaissance (Sfic) dans les régions en France et au Canada (Québec). Les résultats empiriques font émerger des similarités de part et d'autres de l'Atlantique, mais aussi une différence importante : les stratégies d'innovation, pourtant assez semblables dans les deux pays, se déploient dans des types de régions différents. Ces résultats exploratoires soulèvent des questions quant à la transférabilité des concepts associant géographie et innovation, et mettent en exergue à la fois la difficulté et la nécessité d'effectuer plus d'études strictement comparables (mêmes concepts, mêmes méthodes, mêmes données) entre contextes nationaux et continentaux différents. ; The objective of this article is to analyze the innovation behaviors of Knowledge-Intensive Business Services (Kibs) in France and Canada (Québec) and to describe the geographic variation of innovation strategies across regions. The empirical results reveal similarities in strategies on both sides of the Atlantic, but also an important difference: innovation strategies, though similar in both countries, are deployed in different types of regions. These exploratory results raise many questions about the transferability of concepts related to the geography of innovation, and highlight both the difficulty of, and need for, studies that are strictly comparable (same concepts, same methods, same data) across different national and continental contexts.
