Abstract
Two main forces coincide nowadays in the characterisation of productive systems. On the one hand, the internationalisation of markets and economic activities deal to an increasing competition worldwide. On the other, the greater complexity of technology makes innovation a key factor for manufacturing firms’ competitiveness. Cooperative network relationships seem to be important in both processes. This paper aims to explore the interaction between co-operation and competitiveness behaviour in four manufacturing industries: food, chemicals, electronics and vehicles. Data has been obtained from a Survey conducted specifically for this purpose at the firm level in Spain.
