Zusammenfassung

Traditionally, research on the effects of cooperation for innovation has been focused on technological advances. However, as non-technological innovations increasingly influence the firms� competitiveness, the interest for studying them has became more important in recent years. Thus, the objective of the present paper is to analyze the effects of cooperation with different external agents (suppliers, customers, competitors, experts and consultants and universities and public research centres) on the development of a specific type of non-technological innovations: organizational innovations. The main conclusion that the study achieves is that, excluding cooperation with competitors, the rest of external agents exert a positive and significant influence on the development of this kind of innovations. Nevertheless, the magnitude of the effect varies according to the particular agent that the firm cooperates with
