Resumen

El paradigma " Open Innovation" (OI) enfatiza el papel del conocimiento externo como apoyo a los esfuerzos internos en I+D. La mayoría de investigaciones realizadas sobre este modelo se han centrado en sectores intensivos en tecnología, mientras que en este trabajo se expande su aplicación a sectores más maduros. El estudio también analiza un amplio rango de estrategias OI y su relación con distintos resultados innovadores. El análisis empírico, basado en una amplia muestra de empresas manufactureras españolas, indica que las estrategias OI son mecanismos altamente efectivos para que los esfuerzos internos en I+D sean más fructíferos, tanto en sectores de alta como baja intensidad tecnológica. Además, el estudio aporta evidencia sobre la relación positiva entre estrategias basadas en relaciones de mercado y la consecución de innovaciones en proceso, mientras que las estrategias de colaboración tienen un vínculo similar con las innovaciones de producto. Estrategias de colaboración más formales, como las joint ventures, muestran una relación positiva con la obtención de patentes.
