| Abstract: | The paper stresses the importance of competencies, specifically relational competencies, in the innovation process. Innovation output is not only produced by R&D but also often supported by networks and intercompany relations that differ according to the size of the company. This study performs an empirical analysis of the relationship between French industrial companies' relational competencies and their sizes. The results show that the size and the technological intensity of their sector are strongly correlated with relational competencies. |
