Abstract
High-tech firms are triggered to externally acquire and combine additional supplementary and complementary resources to develop innovative capabilities and generate new knowledge, products, and business ideas. Firms may rely on cooperation, alliances, and other interfirm ties as well as on the external acquisition of the stock of resources and capabilities to foster their innovativeness and support their patent activity. This contribution develops and tests a conceptual framework for assessing external sources of a firm’s innovative performance in high-tech industries. By simultaneously evaluating the explanatory power of technological alliances and financial resources in shaping a firm’s innovative performance, measured as new patents registered, the paper provides some original outcomes from both conceptual and methodological perspectives. Research hypotheses are tested performing OLS regression models on 90 European-listed firms operating in the aerospace and defence industry, engag| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
