The Dynamics of Cooperation in Industrial Innovation
9781858982359 Edward Elgar Publishing
This major new book provides a comprehensive, multidisciplinary analysis of the nature and significance of collaboration between firms and other actors involved in industrial innovation.
The motivations and mechanisms for technological collaboration, the fields in which it is likely to occur, and the consequences of collaboration for the parties involved and the economy as a whole are all addressed by a distinguished group of scholars drawn from economics, sociology, management theory and political economy. Areas and issues covered include growth theory and the theory of the firm, managerial objectives across different cultures, interfirm technological linkages, networks and innovation, strategic collaboration, collaborative agreements, state intervention, strategic alliances and informal networks.

Critical Acclaim
‘I would recommend the book to those interested in the links between innovation and industrial networks. I am sure that a number of the contributions would be interesting to many readers of Management Learning; at least those not deterred by the word “technological” in the title.’
– Ossie Jones, Management Learning
‘It is a timely book dealing with the important issues and complexity associated with collaborations and the resulting network formation. The book will provide important insights to the students and researchers of industrial economics, innovation management, and organization studies.’
