description The goal of this research is to empirically study the relationship between obstacles perceived by companies to carrying out their innovation activities and their decisions about external sourcing of knowledge through the outsourcing of R&D or technological cooperation. Using information on German and Spanish companies from the year 2010, we obtain that in both countries this association is positive, and that companies that assign greater importance to factors that impede their innovation activities are also more likely to engage in external sourcing of knowledge. This relationship seems to be especially strong in companies that do not engage in internal R&D activities or do so sporadically, while it is much weaker in companies that perform internal R&D continuously. Nonetheless, the importance that companies assign to the market power of established companies as a barrier to innovation is positively associated with technological cooperation especially in continuous R&D performers.

Utilizando información sobre las empresas alemanas y españolas del año 2010, obtenemos que en ambos países esta asociación es positiva, y que las empresas que asignan mayor importancia a factores que impiden sus actividades de innovación también son más propensos a participar en actividades externas abastecimiento de conocimiento. Esta relación parece ser especialmente fuerte en las empresas que no se comprometen con actividades internas de I + D o lo hacen esporádicamente, mientras que es mucho más débil en empresas que realizan actividades internas de I + D continuamente. No obstante, la importancia que las empresas le asignan al poder de mercado de las empresas establecidas como una barrera para la innovación es positivamente asociado con cooperación tecnológica especialmente quienes desarrollan continuamente procesos de I + D.engUniversidad EAFITEscuela de Economía y FinanzasObstacles to innovation and external sourcing of knowledge: Evidence for German and Spanish firmsworkingPaperinfo:eu-repo/semantics/workingPaperDocumento de trabajo de investigacióndrafthttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_b1a7d7d4d402bccehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_8042Acceso abiertohttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2Obstacles to innovationoutsourcingtechnological cooperationObstáculos a la innovaciónSubcontrataciónCooperación tecnológicamptamayo@eafit.edu.coegomezv@eafit.edu.coehuergo@ccee.ucm.esGómez, EstefaníaElena, HuergoTamayo Plata, Mery PatriciaLICENSElicense.txtlicense.txttext/plain; charset=utf-82556https://repository.eafit.edu.co/bitstreams/a1675d7b-5fd4-4801-85b7-8b12dc7f3cca/download76025f86b095439b7ac65b367055d40cMD51ORIGINALWP-2018-05-MeryPatriciaTamayo.pdfWP-2018-05-MeryPatriciaTamayo.pdfDocumento de trabajo de investigaciónapplication/pdf727583https://repository.eafit.edu.co/bitstreams/1a0a802b-daae-4ebc-ae2b-c59cead8fd2e/download22cf6932194490a69eb2a47d825251e3MD5210784/12241oai:repository.eafit.edu.co:10784/122412024-03-05 14:06:15.825open.accesshttps://repository.eafit.edu.coRepositorio Institucional Universidad EAFITrepositorio@eafit.edu.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
