本文探讨了日本高科技初创企业R&D合作的决定因素。使用2008年进行的原始调查的样本，我们研究了创始人，企业和行业的具体特征对R&D合作的合作伙伴类型的影响。我们的研究结果表明，创始人的具体特征，如教育背景，学术联系，和先前的创新产出，是相当重要的，在决定R&D与大学和公共研究机构的合作。我们还提供了证据，创始人的工作经验和先前的创新产出有积极的和显着的影响与商业伙伴的研发合作。就企业的具体特征而言，研究发现，在R&D投资更多的企业倾向于从事R&D合作，无论合作伙伴的类型。此外，研究发现，独立企业与大学和公共研究机构合作进行R&D的可能性低于子公司和关联企业。
This paper explores the determinants of R&D cooperation in Japanese hightech start-ups. Using a sample from an original survey conducted in 2008, we examine the effects of founder-, firm-, and industry-specific characteristics on R&D cooperation by the type of partners. Our findings indicate that founder-specific characteristics, such as educational background, academic affiliation, and prior innovation output, are fairly important in determining R&D cooperation with universities and public research institutes. We also provide evidence that founders' work experience and prior innovation output have positive and significant effects on R&D cooperation with business partners. With respect to firm-specific characteristics, it is found that firms investing more in R&D tend to engage in R&D cooperation, regardless of the type of partners. Furthermore, it is found that independent firms are less likely to cooperate on R&D with universities and public research institutes, than subsidiaries and affiliated firms.
