Our empirical analysis investigates the effects of IT-based cooperation on the innovation process in a sample of Catalan firms. IT emerges as a key factor driving cooperation and encouraging network economies through the improvement of the existing cooperative networks, but also behaving as a strategic tool to break some firms’ obstacles to innovate.The aim of this research paper is to asses how Information and Communication Technologies (IT) should favor firms’ interactions with their environment and make easier their accessibility to innovative networks.
