“…6 Equity joint ventures also seem to be more likely when R&D is implied, when patents are an ineffective appropriation mechanism or when the partnership involves several projects: the buying of equity should diminish the risk of opportunism, thereby increasing the efficiency of external relationships (Oxley 1999). Finally, opportunism influences the number of contractual clauses and/or the presence, within external R&D relationships, of certain key clauses (Ulset 1996;Ciccotello and Hornyak 2000;Helm and Kloyer 2004;Reuer, Arin, and Mellewigt 2006). For instance, those relationships that are described as strategic, those where the partner was difficult to find or those involving high R&D investments will include a greater number of contractual clauses.…”

This paper uses a survey of French firms active in R&D to identify the determinants of the trade-off between R&D subcontracting and R&D cooperation. We observe that R&D subcontracting is more likely than R&D cooperation when the partner is chosen on objective criteria, such as prices, quality certificates and geographic proximity. Subcontracting relationships also involve less uncertainty, are less likely to lead to patent deposits and less frequently involve public research institutions. These results are coherent with the hypothesis that R&D subcontracting mainly concerns standardized R&D processes.R&D cooperation, R&D subcontracting, organizational choices,
