本文考察了跨组织因素是否通过组建国际研究联盟来影响德国生物技术公司的国际化倾向。组织间因素包括企业在其本地集群和国家研究网络中的嵌入程度。我们在1995-2004年德国生物技术人口的纵向事件历史数据集上测试了两组假设(本地和国家网络驱动因素)。研究结果表明，地处已经具有密集国际联系的地方集群，与当地研究机构以及国家合作伙伴建立研究联盟，并在国家研究网络中处于中心地位，增加了形成国际研究联盟的可能性。
This paper examines whether inter-organizational factors influence German biotech firms' propensity to internationalize by forming international research alliances. Inter-organizational factors include dimensions of a firm's embeddedness within its local cluster and within its national research network. We test two sets of hypotheses (local and national network-drivers) on a longitudinal event history dataset of the complete German biotech population for the years 1995–2004. Findings show that location in a local cluster already dense with international linkages, the building of research alliances with local research institutes as well as national partners and central position in the national research network increase the probability of forming international research alliances.
