“…They cannot confirm that cooperation with universities has an effect on labour productivity, but instead find a significant impact on innovative sales growth. Aschhoff and Schmidt (2008) reinforce the positive relationship between cooperation with universities and the newto-the-market product innovation. In the same study, these authors also confirm the effect of cooperation in process innovation, capturing throughout this indicator the cost-reduction factor associated with collaborative R&D.…”

The objective of this paper is to analyse the effects of international R&D cooperation on firms' economic performance. Our approach, based on a complete data set with information about Spanish participants in research joint ventures supported by the EU Framework Programme during the period 1995-2005, establishes a recursive model structure to capture the relationship between R&D cooperation, knowledge generation and economic results, which are measured by labour productivity. In the analysis we take into account that the participation in this specific type of cooperative projects implies a selection process that includes both the self-selection by participants to join the consortia and the selection of projects by the European Commission to award the public aid. Empirical analysis has confirmed that: (1) R&D cooperation has a positive impact on the technological capacity of firms, captured through intangible fixed assets and (2) the technological capacity of firms is positively related to their productivity.

“…The focus is on different types of (national and foreign) alliance partners because different partner types can serve different purposes such as providing the focal firm with different resources, knowledge, and expertise useful for improving innovative performance and productivity (e.g., Aschhoff & Schmidt, 2008;Belderbos, Carree, Diederen, Lokshin, & Veugelers, 2004;Teece, 1980). The importance of collaborative strategies is demonstrated in various studies.…”

“…Although there are not many studies on the impact of the type of technology provider in external technology acquisition, there are ample studies that explore effects of partner types in R&D cooperation (Belderbos, Carree, and Lokshin 2004;Fritsch and Franke 2004;Arranz and de Arroyabe 2008;Aschhoff and Schmidt 2008;Kang and Kang 2010). Most of these studies find that the relationship between R&D cooperation and innovative performance varies depending on the type of partner.…”

External technology acquisition: a double-edged sword

Firms are known to actively utilise external technology acquisition to update and extend their technological knowledge base. Although external technology acquisition has various advantages, it should be considered as a double-edged sword as it also has some inherent negative aspects. This study examines the role of external technology acquisition to investigate whether external technology acquisition is complementary or substitutive to internal R&D activities in creating innovation. The results show that external technology acquisition has an inverted U-shaped relationship with subsequent technology innovation performance, and that is not complementary to internal R&D activities. We thus confirm that external technology acquisition has to be seen as a double-edged sword and that managers need to be aware of the potentially negative effects of strong diversity of the firm's external technology acquisition sources on internal R&D and subsequent innovation performance.
