Thecomplexity and dynamism of present environments make it obligatory to complement theinternal knowledge base with others coming from outside, and thus a distinction is madebetween internal and external innovation sources. Since the former have been adequatelystudied and analysed in the literature, the present work aims to make progress in knowing thelatter. For this purpose, an analysis has been made of the influence of nine types ofcooperation with external agents on three indicators of innovatory effort in twenty industrialand service sectors in Spain. These indicators have been: the total intensity of innovationactivities, the intramural R&D intensity and the extramural R&D intensity. The findingsindicate the existence of very diverse effects on the basis of the partner chosen to cooperatewith.
