Abstract: Abstract It has been widely observed that relations among domestic firms within capitalist industrial societies have frequently and significantly departed from the traditional realm of market transactions to assume the form of joint business arrangements, of a wide variety and covering a broad range of economic activities.1 This development has increasingly come to be designated ‘inter-firm cooperation’. Inter-firm cooperation has extended to the international sphere also, gaining particular momentum in the post-war period, and resulting there too in an intricate web of inter-firm relationships.2 While several useful typologies have been constructed,3 the nature of inter-firm cooperation remains ill-defined and its determinants imperfectly understood.
