Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to analyze how knowledge factors as absorptive capacity, appropriability mechanisms, proximities and sticky information determine the propensity to innovate in coopetition. We test the hypotheses by using a sample of 526 Spanish firms that cooperate with competitors, and performing a logistic binomial regression to analyze the impact of each factor. The findings show a positive influence of appropriability mechanisms, market proximity and researchers on innovative behaviour. And, there are a negative effect of cognitive and social proximity and some factors of the absorption capacity (knowledge flows, expenditure on R&D and training).
