Abstract

The performance of innovation systems depends, to a great extent, on the degree of public–private collaboration they involve. Thus, innovation policies often aim to enhance this collaboration through public–private partnerships. These partnerships are a multidimensional phenomenon whose success depends on factors related to each of their dimensions. This paper proposes the use of an analytical model that reflects the multidimensional nature of public–private partnerships and analyses to what extent they are applied in a specific innovation system in order to identify the territorial and sectorial factors that act as barriers or drivers to use them. This model aims to help policy makers design appropriate public–private partnerships in each context. The case under review is the Spanish innovation system, given that this system has been suffering from a structural lack of collaboration for several decades, despite the implementation of policies aimed to foster this. Thus, if the model works, it should be able to identify key factors that influence greater or more restricted use of the different PPP formulas. El desempeño de los sistemas de innovación depende, en gran medida, del grado de colaboración entre los agentes públicos y privados que los integran. Las políticas de innovación a menudo apuntan a mejorar esta colaboración. Pero la colaboración públicoprivada es un fenómeno multidimensional cuyo éxito depende de factores relacionados con cada una de sus dimensiones. Este trabajo propone el uso de un modelo analítico que refleja esta naturaleza multidimensional y analiza un sistema de innovación específico para identificar los factores territoriales y sectoriales que actúan como barreras o impulsores de la colaboración. Este modelo tiene como objetivo ayudar a los responsables de la formulación de políticas a diseñar fórmulas de colaboración adecuadas en cada contexto. El caso analizado es el sistema de innovación español, dado que, desde hace años, la falta de colaboración público‐privada es uno de sus problemas estructurales a pesar de la implementación de políticas encaminadas a fomentarla. El modelo debería poder identificar los factores clave que influyen en el mayor o menor uso de las diferentes fórmulas de colaboración público‐privada. 创新系统的表现在很大程度上取决于其参与的公私合作程度。因此,创新政策时常通过政府和社会资本合作(PPPs)来提高合作。PPPs具有多个维度,不同维度的成功依赖于与各维度相关的因素。本文提出使用一个分析模型,该模型反映了PPPs的多维性质,并分析PPPs在多大程度上被应用于一个特定的创新系统,以期识别阻碍或驱动使用PPPs的领域因素和部门因素。该模型旨在帮助决策者制定各情境下相适应的PPPs。本文审视了西班牙的创新系统,该系统几十年来一直在合作上存在结构性缺失,尽管执行了用于培养合作的政策。因此,如果该模型有效,则应能识别促进或限制不同PPP方法的使用的关键影响因素。
