La cooperación en proyectos tecnológicos, ¿qué queda por hacer? Una aproximación desde el enfoque estratégico

This article discusses from a strategic point of view the role of technological cooperation in manufacturing and services Spanish firms. The data used come from the Technological Innovation Panel (PITEC, 2012). The results show that SMEs are reluctant to cooperation and that the purpose of the agreements is to solve problems and operational barriers such as innovation costs and lack of financing, among others. The difficulty in finding partners is also a determining factor in establishing technology cooperation agreements.
