註釋This study explores empirically the innovation process at the firm level in developing countries. Concrete evidence is provided on the technological behaviour of firms under a disarticulated innovation system, with particular attention to the role of the abroad as a counterbalancing mechanism of such disarticulation. The concept of abroad is investigated in a large sense, allowing it to take the shape of foreign MNEs, external demand or even public research institutions. The main results address five crucial dimensions: (1) the firm's ability to put in place a knowledge function; (2) the firm's dependency to foreign technologies; (3) the external market as a technology driver; (4) the domestic public creation of technology; and, (5) the technological interactions between public and private actors. Evidence on all these dimensions goes in the same direction: the analysis of an innovation system and its interactions should not be bounded to the local or national level but it should necessarily include the international dimension.
