RT info:eu-repo/semantics/workingPaper T1 Mobility of public researchers, scientific knowledge transfer, and the firm's innovation process A1 Herrera, Liliana A1 Muñoz Doyague, María Felisa A1 Nieto Antolín, Mariano A2 Organizacion de Empresa K1 Empresas K1 Innovation management K1 Scientific knowledge transfer K1 Knowledge management K1 Public researchers’ mobility K1 R&D AB The present study provides evidence on the mobility effects of researchers from the public R&D system with regard to firm´s innovation process. This issue is particularly novel and important as these researchers contribute to the production and transfer of knowledge previously developed and accumulated in the public R&D system. The findings confirm that scientific knowledge which public researchers provide has a positive influence on both inputs and outputs of the firms’ innovation process. The fact that firms have access to additional knowledge which is complementary to that they already hold represents a spur for exploiting and applying this new knowledge. The firms in this study continually increased their in-house R&D investments. As a result of these investments firms create new knowledge of a unique and valuable type. The study draws two important conclusions geared to providing a greater efficiency in human resource management and to improve the design of technology policies.
