“…Scholars have examined the exploration and/or exploitation strategies of small firms with their dominant partners in the context of alliances (Rothaermel and Deeds, 2004; Velu, 2015; Yang et al , 2014; Hao and Feng, 2018; Ferraris et al , 2019). The choice of the right portfolio of strategic alliances might provide SMEs with the resources that can leverage the innovation capabilities and the development of new products (Yan and Azadegan, 2017; Silva and Moreira, 2018) even if the linkages are yet to be explored. In fact, literature fails to explain how to align these strategic alliances in a turbulent context to produce more innovation and to improve new product development with dynamic capabilities for enhancing overall competitiveness (Mamédio et al , 2019).…”

PurposeThis study delves in the controversy about the nature and the sign of the effect of strategic alliances and exploration and exploitation capabilities on innovation and new product development. The paper analyses the effects of knowledge sharing and strategic alliances relationships at the firm level. Specifically, we study the influence of strategic alliances relationships in new product development and the mediating role of exploration and exploitation as dynamic capabilities.Design/methodology/approachThis investigation proposes a theoretical model tested using structural equation modeling (SEM). The multigroup analysis was performed to understand the moderating role of. A questionnaire survey was developed to explore the relations between strategic alliances and innovation and new product development variables. For this study, 387 valid questionnaires were collected from a sample of Portugal SME' firms. A 90-item questionnaire was submitted to employees managers of a large number of Portuguese SMEs, which consists to study the relationships among all the variables.FindingsThe results show that exists a positive direct influence of strategic alliances on innovation and new product development, and mediating impact the exploration and exploitation by the moderating role of knowledge sharing.Research limitations/implicationsThis study has some methodological limitations affecting its potential contributions. A cross-sectional study that captures one image in time and its ability to identify strict causality between variables is limited. Furthermore, the results are based on log collected from a key respondent, rather than broader actual data. The results are restricted to one country, Portugal. Future research should initially target different countries. Such research could then test the generalizability of the results.Practical implicationsTo fill this managerial relevance gap, we propose a process model in which the main antecedents of alliance stability will be examined. We argue that an alliance's evolutionary dynamics depend on these factors and variables that the partners must assess and manage over its developmental stages. In this sense, managers have significant scope to influence the ultimate success of strategic alliances. This study highlights the need to actively manage the cooperation – competition (coopetition) tension with the alliance partner and to apply the knowledge acquired from the partner to create new knowledge to enhance innovative performanceOriginality/valueThis paper contributes to fill the gap between strategic alliances and new product development mediated by exploration and exploitation in the dynamic capabilities view.

“…With specific reference to the effects of ESIF depending on the size of enterprises and the role they play in the innovation projects financed, there is not abundant literature. Despite this, there are some studies conducted in recent years which are focused on the differences produced between firms according to their size, but aimed at not-Andalusian regions (Santamaría & Nieto, 2009;Silva & Carrizo, 2018;Blaschke, Demel & Kotorov, 2021). us, while some studies using the same methodology (Segarra-Blasco, 2018) or different (Benkovskis, Tkacevs & Yashiro, 2019) have found that companies´size is a key factor other authors (Sande & Vence, 2021) found that large enterprises (LEs) have absorbed part of the expected impact in SMEs.…”

As a Convergence Objective Autonomous Community of the European Union, Andalusia was a beneficiary of the significant volume of European resources for regional innovation mobilised by the 2007-2013 Technological Fund and the 2014-2020 Smart Growth programme. The Andalusian productive fabric is mostly made up of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs). For this reason, we evaluate the impact of the ERDF-Innterconecta programme financed through the previous operational programmes on the main indicators of business growth. The proposed analysis seeks to identify whether there has been an impact for Andalusian companies that have participated in the subsidised projects on three indicators (income, GVA, number of employees), further differentiating these companies by size, participation in innovation and role taken in the funded projects. This impact varies according to the characteristics of the companies.

“…La literatura existente relativa a los diferentes efectos de los recursos europeos en innovación entre GE y Pymes gallegas no es abundante. A pesar de ello, existen algunos estudios en los últimos años centrados en las diferencias producidas entre empresas en función de su tamaño en otros territorios (Santamaría & Nieto, 2009;Spithoven, Vanhaverbeke & Roijakkers, 2013;Silva & Carrizo, 2018). En particular, los dos primeros trabajos se centran en la importancia de la colaboración entre agentes para reducir el gap existente entre Pymes y GE, demostrando que la interacción sería especialmente crítica para las empresas más pequeñas.…”

Como Comunidad Autónoma Objetivo Convergencia de la Unión Europea, Galicia fue beneficiaria del importante volumen de recursos europeos para innovación regional movilizados por el Fondo Tecnológico 2007-2013 y por las convocatorias del programa FEDER-Innterconecta implementadas hasta 2015. Por este motivo, evaluamos el impacto de esta política tecnológica en Galicia a través del impacto en los principales indicadores de innovación empresarial, diferenciando entre Grandes Empresas y Pequeñas y Medianas Empresas. El análisis propuesto (a través del estudio de proyectos, fondos percibidos, etc.) trata de identificar la repercusión de la participación en dicho programa para las empresas gallegas en función de su dimensión a partir del impacto en los principales indicadores empresariales de innovación disponibles (inversión y gasto en investigación y en desarrollo), empleando para ello la metodología PSM (Propensity Score Matching). Ese impacto se muestra desigual en función del tamaño y otras características de las empresas, siendo favorable para las empresas de gran dimensión que ya innovaban previamente y casi inexistente para las empresas más pequeñas.
