“…The first one regards solutions that have been envisaged by companies which were well aware of the negative consequences of the organization of R&D activities for the career and recognition of researchers. Numerous interviews conducted in French and British companies at the end of the eighties for analysing human resources policies for researchers (see Mason, Beltramo and Paul (2004) and Beltramo, Paul, Perret (2001)) noticed that companies were introducing specific instruments to counterbalance the negative aspects of R&D activities for careers.…”

“…For example, Beckman et al (2004) find that market uncertainty reinforced networking activity in a sample of the 300 largest services and industrial firms. Mason et al (2004) find that accessing knowledge via greater network openness can be particularly advantageous for fast-changing industries. Conversely, Toedtling et al (2012) study the Austrian information and communication technology sector and argue that, in global knowledge networks, local and regional relationships still matter for innovation.…”

“…In the search for knowledge for innovation, the multiple actors, mechanisms and practices used by firms to try to extend their organizational boundaries have been identified (Laursen and Salter, 2006). Most of this work focuses on the manufacturing sector as a whole (Vega-Jurado et al, 2009b), or particular sub-sectors, such as electronic and electrical equipment (Mason et al, 2004), which are part of a large, high-tech industry with well-defined rules. Less attention has been paid to the service sectors (Caloghirou et al, 2004) and emerging/relatively new economic activities such as biotechnology (Carayannopoulos and Auster, 2010).…”

Recent studies of innovation highlight the importance of external knowledge sourcing. Existing empirical works are based on national surveys and specific industries. The present study contributes to the analysis of strategies for sourcing external knowledge, based on a specific case study and moment in time: the Spanish archaeological sector and its emergence as a new business activity. Our results show that external knowledge sourcing involves diverse mechanisms, agents and two main strategies: cooperation and knowledge acquisition. In an expanding knowledge-based sector emerging in an uncertain context and whose sources of knowledge are scattered, innovation strategy should focus on the search for external knowledge -cooperation and acquisition strategies-, rather than on internal sources.Keywords: External knowledge sourcing; uncertainty; interaction mechanisms; innovation; archaeological sector. Fuentes de conocimiento externo en el sector arqueológico español: Mapeo de la fase emergente en una actividad empresarialResumen: Estudios recientes señalan la importancia de las fuentes externas de conocimiento como estrategia para innovar. La evidencia empírica se fundamenta en encuestas nacionales y en industrias específicas. El presente estudio contribuye al análisis de las estrategias de incorporación de conocimiento externo mediante un caso de estudio y en un momento concreto: el sector arqueológico español y su emergencia como nueva actividad económica. Los resultados muestran que las fuentes de conocimiento externo implican diversos mecanismos, agentes y dos estrategias principalmente: cooperar y adquirir conocimiento. En un sector en expansión, basado en el conocimiento, que surge en un contexto incierto y cuyas fuentes de conocimiento están dispersas, el foco de la innovación puede encontrarse en las estrategias de búsqueda de conocimiento externo -cooperación y adquisición-, más que en fuentes internas.Palabras clave: Fuentes de conocimiento externo; incertidumbre; mecanismos de interacción; innovación; sector arqueológico.

“…O processo de inovação do negócio tende a acontecer primariamente durante iniciativas ocasionais de reengenharia. Dentre as principais vantagens do uso de fontes externas de informação tecnológica podem ser citadas a criação de novas oportunidades, resultados mais rápidos e eficazes, diminuição dos custos da inovação, maior facilidade na definição de prioridades e estímulo à inovação interna (BELTRAMO; MASON;PAUL, 2004).…”

ResumoO estudo buscou avaliar a influência do porte da empresa no processo de gestão de fontes externas de informação tecnológica. A pesquisa survey foi realizada em empresas industriais brasileiras inovadoras, visando contribuir para as inferências sobre a forma de gestão de tecnologia e da performance. A análise da relação entre a gestão de fontes externas de informação tecnológica e o desempenho, segundo o tamanho das empresas, revelou que existem diferenças significativas, especialmente nos aspectos relativos à estrutura de gestão, oportunidades de acesso à tecnologia, às fontes externas de informação tecnológica e aos indicadores de desempenho. As análises efetuadas ressaltam a contribuição da parceria e do relacionamento externo na escolha da modalidade de acesso à tecnologia e na fonte de informação tecnológica, independentemente do tamanho das empresas. Palavras-chave:Desempenho e porte empresarial, gestão da inovação, tecnologia. RAI -Revista de Administração e Inovação
