本文研究了公司决定开展研发活动的决定因素。关于这个主题的大多数实证研究都集中在检查外部或环境因素的影响。本研究的目的是评估内部或组织因素对研发活动的影响。因此，其预期贡献集中于分析公司资源和能力在研发投资中的作用。资源分为三种类型：财务资源、物质资源和无形资源。关于它们对公司开展研发活动的可能性的影响的具体假设是在 100 家西班牙公司的样本中得出和测试的。实证结果表明，无形因素是企业进行内部研发可能性的主要决定因素。 (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. 保留所有权利。
This paper investigates the determinants of the firm's decision to carry out R&D activities. Most empirical studies on this topic have focused on the examination of the effects of external or environmental factors. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of internal or organisational factors on R&D activities. Its intended contribution is therefore focused on the analysis of the role of firm's resources and capabilities in the R&D investment. Three types of resources are distinguished: financial, physical and intangible resources. Specific hypotheses about their effect on the probability of a firm carrying out R&D activities are derived and tested on a sample of 100 Spanish firms. Empirical findings suggest that intangible factors are the main determinants of the probability of a firm carrying out internal R&D. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
