Territorial or Trans-territorial Networking: Spatial Aspects of Technology-oriented Cooperation within the German Mechanical Engineering Industry

Abstract: GROTZ R. and BRAUN B. (1997) Territorial or trans-territorial networking: spatial aspects of technology-oriented cooperation within the German mechanical engineering industry, Reg. Studies 31, 545-557. This study examines the relevance and viability of innovation-oriented networks of small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) in three differently structured industrial environments in Germany. It is mainly based on in-depth interviews in 155 SMEs of the mechanical engineering industry and with regional innovatio… Show more

“…Positive external effects are also expected from the endowment of research infrastructure and the promotion of basic R&D activities. Therefore, German states (Länder) have traditionally been responsible for establishing the public infrastructure of technology institutions that provide services for industry, especially through the technology-transfer centres linking universities and research centres with SMEs (Grotz and Braun 1997). In addition to the strategies like subsidising technological development and innovation activities of private firms and providing research centres publicly (especially for the so-called key-technologies), German regional governments have supported the flexible adaptation of basic research outcomes and rapid adjustment of SMEs to new challenges.…”

“…Este carácter reactivo y a corto plazo de la innovación en pymes dificulta la cooperación con agentes regionales de I+D (universidades, centros tecnológicos), los cuales configuran su agenda de investigación a medio o largo plazo (Hassink, 1997). La innovación en pymes presenta un marcado carácter market pull (Grotz y Braun, 1997;Doloreux, 2003, Kaufman y Tödtling, 2002. Los estudios coinciden en señalar el papel tractor del cliente en los procesos de innovación de las pymes y cómo, en numerosas ocasiones, éstas se ven impulsadas por sus clientes a realizar nuevos desarrollos tecnológicos (Hassink, 1997;Kauffman y Tödtling, 2002Gebauer et alii, 2005).…”

“…Estas relaciones presentan, de manera frecuente, un carácter informal (Fritsch, 2001) y, en ellas, el precio no es el único factor determinante en una operación comercial. La existencia de valores compartidos, normas comunes y confianza entre las partes resultan de vital importancia (Doloreux, 2003(Doloreux, , 2004Asheim y Coenen, 2005;Hassink, 1997;Grotz y Braun, 1997).…”
