The present work is orientated towards the study of the configuration of the innovating processes of Spanish firms. Using recently available data from a panel of manufacturing firms, a detailed descriptive analysis is carried out with the objective of providing an overall view of the main characteristics of the firms and the market structure in which they evolve. This, in turn, becomes an intermediate step for the establishment of a taxonomy of cases that underlies the concept of technological regime. Firms that report R&D expenditures as well as those that do not are taken into consideration when composing the classification of firms. This feature distinguishes the present work from others which have departed from the subset of innovating firms, thus rendering R&D (or other indicators of formal innovation activities) an obligatory ingredient on the technological strategies chosen by firms. The clusters obtained differentiate from each other mainly because of the level, composition and permanence of investment in formal innovation activities, as well as because of the different rates of innovation success and their protection by means of industrial property. The different technological strategies corresponding to the different clusters are also found to be associated with locational determinants. |
