RT Book, Section A1 OCDE T1 Collaboration in innovation JF Measuring Innovation YR 2010 FD mai 27 SP 27 OP 27 AB New firm-level analysis reveals that firms that collaborate on innovation spend more on innovation than those that do not. This suggests that collaboration is likely to be undertaken to extend the scope of a project or to complement firms’ competencies more than to save on costs. In most countries collaboration with foreign partners is as least as important as domestic co-operation. Collaboration is used in innovation processes whether firms perform a lot of R&D, a little R&D or no R&D at all. In this respect, policies that stimulate collaboration and network initiatives will have an impact on the entire spectrum of innovative firms.
