Although research and development (R&D) networks influence the innovation performance of their members, firms may not be fully aware of the scope of their network. In particular, due to cost reasons, they may not be fully informed of their “indirect ties”, ...
We investigate the intra-organizational antecedents of firm-level absorptive capacity (AC). Specifically, we examine how the functional areas of R&D, manufacturing and marketing contribute to the absorption of knowledge coming from different external knowl ...

L’infiniment petit est en passe de fonder des technologies majeures pour le vingt et unième siècle. Majeures quant à la l’impact que ces technologies maîtrisées peuvent proposer dans des champs aussi variés que le médical, les matériaux ou l’information ; ...
