Abstract

[fre] Cet article se propose d'identifier le rôle de la contrainte de proximité dans les modalités de coopération inter-firmes en R & D retenues par les grandes firmes pharmaceutiques. Dans un premier temps, il met en évidence les dimensions, cognitive et spatiale, sous-jacentes à la viabilisation du processus d'innovation. L'articulation de ces deux dimensions pousse à l'émergence de coopérations spécifiques permettant la démultiplication des combinaisons de compétences recherchées entre les firmes et leurs divers partenaires. Dans un second temps, les modalités de coopération les plus utilisées dans l'industrie sont analysées en relation avec le jeu différencié de ces deux dimensions. L'étude panoramique met en évidence des configurations sectorielles originales : préférence pour des coopérations minimisant la gestion conjointe des compétences et permettant de relâcher la contrainte de proximité ; montée de coopérations horizontales d'accompagnement au développement. [eng] The paper aims to identify the role of the proximity constraint on interfirm R & D cooperations within the pharmaceutical sector. First, it emphasizes on the cognitive and spatial dimensions underlying the innovation process viabilisation. The interaction of these two dimensions drives to the emergence of specific cooperations allowing multiple combinations of competencies between firms and their different partners. In a second time, the cooperation modalities which are more frequently used in the industry are analysed in relation with the different interplays of these two dimensions. From this panoramic study emerge specific sectoral configurations : preference for cooperations avoiding the joint management of competencies and releasing the proximity constraint; rise of horizontal cooperations getting along with the development process.
