Abstract

Vor dem Hintergrund der hohen Bedeutung von Kooperationen in der Forschung und Entwicklung (FuE) in der Biotechnologie-Branche analysieren die Autoren mit einer empirischen Untersuchung relevante Einflussfaktoren auf die Effizienz von zwischenbetrieblichen FuE-Projekten. Basierend auf theoretischen Ansätzen und empirischen Studien werden geeignete Einflussfaktoren identifiziert und deren kausale Zusammenhänge in Form von Hypothesen formuliert, um sie anschließend kausalanalytisch zu überprüfen. Die empirischen Befunde belegen, dass vor allem bereits vorhandene Erfahrungen mit dem Kooperationspartner und eine hohe Planungsintensität einen positiven Einfluss auf die Effizienz der Kooperation haben. Entgegen der allgemeinen Auffassung in der Kooperationsforschung konnte kein direkter positiver Zusammenhang zwischen der Intensität der Zusammenarbeit und der Effizienz gefunden werden. Die Befunde der Studie zeigen vielmehr, dass bei intensiveren Formen der Zusammenarbeit wegen der höheren organisatorischen Komplexität zugleich eine intensivere Planung vorhanden sein muss.
