Does Partner Type Matter in R&D Collaboration for Environmental Innovation?
In the literature on environmental innovations R&D collaborations have been identified as a critical determinant of a firm's environmental innovation performance. However, the literature suggests that R&D collaboration is not always beneficial. Therefore, a more elaborated analysis of the effects of R&D collaborations on a firm's environmental innovation performance is necessary. This paper investigates the impact of R&D collaborations with different partner types such as customers, competitors, suppliers, universities, governmental research institutes, consultants and other firms within the same firm group on a firm's environmental innovation performance. In addition, this paper addresses the question of whether the diversity of R&D collaboration partners is important for the environmental innovation performance. Firm-level data from 2,337 German service and manufacturing firms are used in the regression analysis. The results suggest that R&D collaboration with suppliers, customers, universities, governmental research institutes, consultants and other firms within the same firm group has a significantly positive impact on a firm's environmental innovation performance, whereas collaboration with competitors has no significant impact. The diversity of R&D collaboration partners has a significantly positive impact on a firm's environmental innovation performance.
