Abstract

As put forward by Fagerberg (2005, p. 180): “A central finding in innovation research is that firms seldom innovate in isolation.” The external environment and interactions with customers, suppliers, service providers, firms in related industries, competitors, or other private and public organizations (e.g. universities, research institutions, business associations) are particularly important to avoid bottleneck issues, stimulate innovation, and increase the success of the innovation process (Feldman, 1994, p. 2; Porter, 2000, p. 253; Fagerberg, 2005, p. 180; Audretsch and Aldridge, 2008, p. 67).
