Research and Technology Outsourcing and Innovation Systems: an Exploratory Analysis

Jeremy Howells

Industry and Innovation, 1999, vol. 6, issue 1, 111-129

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”.
