Abstract
Antecedents to cooperation in R&D consortia are examined along with the form such cooperation takes. Building on a conceptual framework developed from earlier work with Japanese and US consortia, the authors compare US and Canadian consortia experiences including formation rates, membership characteristics, funding sources, purposes and activity profiles. Implications for businesses and policymakers are discussed
