This research aims to analyse the determinants of innovation and cooperation activities. Based on a sample of 364 Moroccan companies, we highlight the importance of the impact of cooperative relations allowing the company to access the knowledge and skills necessary for innovation that they couldn't acquire if they remained isolated. We particularly focus on the determinants of innovation of Moroccan companies, taking into account their cooperation leads to innovation in an innovation system. To respond to our question, we will develop the different theoretical approaches to innovation and a review of empirical literature on the innovative behavior of firms. Our results suggest that the probability of innovation is determined by internal and external firm attributes (size, industry, group membership and technological watch, etc.). On the other hand, it was found that the probability of innovation has increased more if the company launches simultaneously in research and development and cooperative relations for innovation.

This research aims to analyse the determinants of innovation and cooperation activities. Based on a sample of 364 Moroccan companies, we highlight the importance of the impact of cooperative relations allowing the company to access the knowledge and skills necessary for innovation that they couldn't acquire if they remained isolated. We particularly focus on the determinants of innovation of Moroccan companies, taking into account their cooperation leads to innovation in an innovation system. To respond to our question, we will develop the different theoretical approaches to innovation and a review of empirical literature on the innovative behavior of firms. Our results suggest that the probability of innovation is determined by internal and external firm attributes (size, industry, group membership and technological watch, etc.).

Abstract: (french)
Notre étude s'interroge sur les déterminants de l'activité d'innovation et de coopération pour l'innovation à partir d'un échantillon de 364 des entreprises marocaines, tout en mettant en exergue l'importance de l'impact des relations de coopération, permettant à l'entreprise d'accéder aux connaissances et compétences nécessaire à l'innovation et dont elles n'auraient pas disposé en restant isolées. Il s'agit plus précisément d'étudier les facteurs déterminant l'innovation des entreprises marocaines, en prenant en compte leurs coopérations menant à l'innovation dans un système d'innovation. Pour répondre à notre problématique, nous développerons les différentes approches théoriques de l'innovation et une revue de littérature empirique sur le comportement innovant des entreprises. Nos résultats suggèrent d'une part, que la probabilité d'innover est déterminée par les attributs internes et externes de l'entreprise (taille, secteur d'activité, appartenance à un groupe et veille technologique, etc.). D'autre part, il s'est avéré que la probabilité d'innover est intensifiée plus si l'entreprise se lance simultanément dans des activités de Recherche et développement et dans des relations de coopération pour l'innovation.
