To attain these goals, it is structured as follows: next section makes a literature review on the assets and agents of cooperation for innovation; third section describes the research framework (instrument, sampling and frequencies) for appraising the nature of the innovation process in terms of cooperation or firm-based innovation by type of innovation (product/process); then fourth section differentiates these results by sector outlining which cooperation sources/agents are most used (scope) and relative intensity (scale); finally fifth section concludes and refers future directions of research.engPortuguese EconomyFirmsR&DProcess InnovationCooperation for Innovationbook part
