Abstract: Abstract The sources of innovation are often found rather between firms, universities, research laboratories, suppliers and customers than inside them (Powell, 1990). Firms engage in co-operation not only to share the costs and risks of research activities but also to obtain access to new markets and technologies and make use of complementary skills (Kogut, 1989; Hagedoorn, 1993; Eisenhardt and Schoonhoven, 1996; Mowery et al., 1998). In rapidly developing industries, where competition might be seen as a learning race, it is almost inevitable to engage in inter-firm collaboration to identify new opportunities and learn about new technology (Powell, 1998). Accordingly, Teece (1992) argues that complex forms of co-operation are necessary for competition on a level of high technological sophistication especially in fragmented industries.
