Abstract: Small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) strongly depend on external knowledge. At the same time, SMEs face several resource constraints. Especially the marginally structured internal research and development (R&D) function leads to knowledge sourcing beyond cooperative R&D. Using arguments from the Resource-Based View of the firm (RBV) and Absorptive Capacity (AC), this study hypothesizes on external collaboration and innovative sales taking partner- and stage-specificity into account. Data originates from the Mannheim Innovation Panel (MIP) comprising 1.475 SMEs Results suggest a broad impact of stage-specific collaboration on innovative sales, which depends on the type of partner.
