Abstract

Abstract In this article we use the innovation survey of the manufacturing industry of Peru to identify cooperation behaviors for research and development (R&D) projects among companies and external agents in general. Likewise, we also find cooperation behaviors among the industry and the following external agents: university, technical centers, suppliers, customers, and companies of the same group, competitors, guilds, and consultants. Within the specific agents, the university is considered a cooperation agent for R&D projects. We use the survey of innovation in the manufacturing industry of Peru conducted in 2015, which resulted in 1447 Peruvian companies being surveyed. Evidence was obtained as to the degree of the tie between the industry and external agents for cooperation in R&D projects, giving relevance to variables such as investment, resources, and degree of innovation. Our results show that investment is an important factor for cooperation with external agents. Additionally, companies that have innovated at some point seek to cooperate with external agents. Finally, the importance of the university is demonstrable, thus, companies that invest in R&D seek to cooperate with the university.

产业与外部代理之间的研发项目合作:来自秘鲁制造企业的证据

摘要在本文中，我们利用秘鲁制造业的创新调查来确定公司和外部代理商之间的研发项目合作行为。同样，我们也发现了行业与以下外部代理人之间的合作行为：大学、技术中心、供应商、客户和同一集团的公司、竞争对手、行会和顾问。在特定代理人中，大学被视为研发项目的合作代理人。我们使用了2015年进行的秘鲁制造业创新调查，该调查共调查了1447家秘鲁公司。有证据表明，该行业与研发项目合作的外部代理人之间的联系程度，与投资、资源和创新程度等变量相关。我们的研究结果表明，投资是与外部代理商合作的一个重要因素。此外，在某个时刻进行创新的公司寻求与外部代理商合作。最后，大学的重要性是显而易见的，因此，投资研发的公司寻求与大学合作。
