Abstract
This study explores the indirect effects of different types of external collaboration on firm growth capability through R&D efforts. Analyzing 94 top-ranking innovative Chinese enterprises, it finds that vertical, horizontal, and competitor collaboration positively relate to R&D intensity, R&D human capital, and firm growth capability. R&D intensity mediates the relationship between external collaboration and firm growth, but R&D human capital does not. The study contributes to open innovation and organizational growth literature.
