Produktbeschreibung

Recent decades have been characterized by an increasing number of strategic alliances, mergers and acquisitions and more general collaborative networks. This phenomenon has primarily involved knowledge-intensive and high-tech industries where innovation is a key competitive weapon. This book focuses on the role of these partnerships and provides new insights into how they contribute to increasing innovation performance. It fills a gap in the existing literature by examining specific contributions of absorptive capacity of firms, knowledge networks and spillovers.
