When should a firm collaborate with research organizations for innovation performance? The moderating role of innovation orientation, size, and age

“…Previous studies showed that firms involved in CWRO have higher innovation performance (Belderbos et al 2004(Belderbos et al , 2015Faems et al 2005;Nieto and Santamaria 2007). Specifically, Faems et al (2005) found that CWRO has a positive impact on new technology and product development, whereas collaboration with suppliers and customers is positively associated with improvements to current technology and products.…”

“…Among various potential external collaborators, research organizations such as universities and research institutions are a key to gaining specialized scientific knowledge (Belderbos et al 2004(Belderbos et al , 2015Klevorick et al 1995). In addition, firms cooperating with research organizations can increase incoming spillovers 1 and minimize outgoing spillovers (De Bondt et al 1992;Röller et al 1997).…”

Determinants of university–firm R&D collaboration and its impact on innovation: A perspective from a low-tech industry

“…Both product and process innovation are analysed by Fitjar and Rodríguez-Pose (2012), González-Pernía et al (2014), Nieto and Santamaria (2007) and Robin and Schubert (2013). R&D collaborations with universities or public research labs are most frequently investigated (Becker and Dietz, 2004;Belderbos et al, 2015;Broiwer andKleinknecht, 1996 González-Pernía et al, 2014), whereas citations are less frequently studied (Beise and Stahl, 1999;Jiang et al, 2010;Mansfield and Lee, 1996).…”

Cooperation for innovation: impact evidence for European manufacturing SMEs

“…The (Nieto and Santamaria, 2007;Belderbos et al, 2014). Moreover, exporting activities serve as a proxy for firms' foreign competitiveness (Herrera and Nieto, 2008).…”
