| Tiivistelmä: | The paper presents the results of an empirical study that aims to investigate the impact of inter-firm co-operation over innovation on four different types of innovation: product, process, incremental and radical innovation. Drawing on the innovative milieu literature, the impact on the above four types of innovation was tested for both external and internal factors of innovation such as inter- firm co-operation over innovation, production networking, as well as R&D investment and R&D personnel. Four probit models were run by using a unique data set compiled as part of the Regional Innovation Strategy for the West Midlands (UK) Project. The main findings of the paper provide evidence that firms' capacity to innovate could greatly improve if they co- operated with other firms over innovation. |
