Research and technology outsourcing and innovation systems: an exploratory analysis

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

The paper discusses the process of externalization and contracting out of research and technology, in particular the outsourcing of R&D and technical activity formerly undertaken by manufacturing and service companies and now contracted out to other firms and specialist organizations. The growth in the external sourcing of R&D, design and other technical activities by firms has contributed to the evolution of new research and technical markets which have important implications for current conceptualizations of "systems of innovation".
