Findings

Innovation is widely recognized as a prime means of gaining a competitive advantage. However, many firms lack the necessary resources needed to increase their innovation capabilities. Cooperating with other organizations or institutions is therefore seen as a viable alternative. The prospects of successful innovation can be enhanced by various dimensions of non-spatial proximity. Collaboration is likely to prove most effective if firms engage with others identified as being similar, indicated by a blend of cognitive and organizational proximity.

Practical implications

The paper provides strategic insights and practical thinking that have influenced some of the world’s leading organizations.

Originality/value

The briefing saves busy executives and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy-to-digest format.
