Relación tecnológica en los acuerdos de cooperación empresarial y generación de innovaciones

Resumen El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo analizar el impacto de la relacion tecnologica entre los socios en las alianzas en I+D en tipos especificos de innovacion de producto. Para ello, una vez desarrollado el marco conceptual enraizado en la teoria del aprendizaje organizacional y el enfoque de capacidades dinamicas, se ha realizado un estudio longitudinal de una muestra internacional de empresas farmaceuticas para contrastar el conjunto de hipotesis formuladas. La investigacion empirica confirma que las relaciones de complementariedad y de similitud del conocimiento tecnologico de los socios cooperantes influyen de modo diferente en la generacion de innovaciones radicales e incrementales. Estas evidencias ponen de manifiesto la importancia de disenar un adecuado portafolio de alianzas en I+D para desarrollar las distintas competencias de innovacion.
