| 总结: | It is widely assumed that firms collaborating in
Research and Development (R&D) activities benefit
from knowledge spillovers. However, there has been
little discussion about the synergistic effects of
knowledge spillovers and R&D collaboration.This
paper examines the role of three types of knowledge spillovers, namely internal, market and institutional.R&D collaboration mediates the knowledge spillovers effects in the proposed structural equation models.This study demonstrates that German knowledge-intensive firms prefer internal knowledge transfer and market R&D collaboration, respectively.The empirical evidence shows that these tools promote innovation performance. The highest effects are obtained for the combination of market knowledge spillovers (.043***) and market R&D collaboration (.066***). This research thus provides justification for this strategy.It also shows that public financial support represents an effective measure for
establishing R&D collaboration based on knowledge
spillovers generated in the communication within the firm, in the market and with public institutions.The support of market and institutional R&D collaboration seems to be particularly important. |
