Resumen:
Cooperative networks
are main tools to improve the competitiveness of Small and Medium Sized Enterprises
(SME). This study contributes to extend the literature review about the factors
that foster firms cooperative conduct. Apart from that, the paper examines
through a LOGIT model, the firms characteristics, especially ICT (information
and communication technologies) use, and the environments and partners
characteristics that influence the probability of building alliances with other
firms from the same economic activity. In particular, we find that ICT use reduces
the probability of networking.
