Zusammenfassung

Kooperationen werden allgemeinhin als vorteilhaft für Forschungs- und Entwicklungsaktivitäten und damit als positiv für den langfristigen Erfolg von Unternehmen angesehen. Entsprechend ist die Unterstützung von Kooperations- und Netzwerkaktivitäten zu einem populären Instrument der Innovationspolitik geworden.

Der vorliegende Beitrag diskutiert dieses Instrument aus Sicht des Proximity-Ansatzes. Es wird dabei kritisch hinterfragt, wann eine solche Förderung gerechtfertigt ist und in welchen Situationen sie wahrscheinlich den größten Nutzen stiftet. Hierauf aufbauend werden beispielhaft die traditionelle Clusterpolitik und die EU-Forschungsrahmenprogrammme aus theoretischer Sicht bewertet und praktische Implikationen für die Innovationspolitik abgeleitet.

Notes

1.
Wir konzentrieren uns im Folgenden auf Kooperationen als eine Art der Wissensaustauschbeziehungen. Die gleiche Argumentation kann aber auf andere Interaktionen, bei denen es zu kollektiven Lernprozessen kommt, übertragen werden.
