In such cases, co-operation mechanisms assume particular forms. Production is a critical business activity in traditional manufacturing industries, while its relative importance is smaller for other industries.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Research limitations\/implications<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The findings obtained in this research do not allow generality of the results.

It contrasts a manufacturing, traditional and geographically concentrated industry (furniture) with a service-based, modern and geographically dispersed industry (events organisation). In addition, it allows to gain insights on the evolution of business co-operation as it uses data collected from two different generations of entrepreneurs within the furniture industry.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1108\/s2040-724620140000003010","type":"book-chapter","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,7,10]],"date-time":"2014-07-10T18:07:45Z","timestamp":1405015665000},"page":"75-96","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Co-operation Mechanisms in the Portuguese SMEs\u2019 Production and Outsourcing Activities"],"prefix":"10.1108","author":[{"given":"Vitor","family":"Braga","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]}],"member":"140","reference":[{"issue":"2","key":"2025122917303693800_s2040-724620140000003010_15.bib1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"365","DOI":"10.1111\/1468-2427.00201","article-title":"An institutional perspective on regional economic development","volume":"32","author":"Amin","year":"1999","journal-title":"Journal of Urban and Regional Research"},{"year":"2001","author":"Baptista","key":"2025122917303693800_s2040-724620140000003010_15.bib2"},{"key":"2025122917303693800_s2040-724620140000003010_15.bib3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"945","DOI":"10.1093\/icc\/10.4.945","article-title":"Regional innovation systems, clusters and the knowledge economy","volume":"10","author":"Cooke","year":"2001","journal-title":"Industrial & Corporate Change"},{"volume-title":"Co-operation, networks and institutions in regional innovation systems","year":"2003","author":"Fornahl","key":"2025122917303693800_s2040-724620140000003010_15.bib4"},{"volume-title":"Software of the mind: Intercultural cooperation and its importance for survival","year":"1991","author":"Hofstede","key":"2025122917303693800_s2040-724620140000003010_15.bib5"},{"volume-title":"Culture\u2019s consequences: Comparing values, behaviours, institutions, and organizations across nations","year":"2001","author":"Hofstede","key":"2025122917303693800_s2040-724620140000003010_15.bib6"},{"issue":"3","key":"2025122917303693800_s2040-724620140000003010_15.bib7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"293","DOI":"10.2307\/144402","article-title":"Sticky places in slippery space: A typology of industrial districts","volume":"72","author":"Markusen","year":"1996","journal-title":"Economic Geography"},{"volume-title":"Co-operation, network and institutions in regional innovation systems","year":"2003","author":"Pilon","key":"2025122917303693800_s2040-724620140000003010_15.bib8"},{"volume-title":"On competition","year":"1999","author":"Porter","key":"2025122917303693800_s2040-724620140000003010_15.bib9"},{"issue":"4","key":"2025122917303693800_s2040-724620140000003010_15.bib10","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"439","DOI":"10.1080\/09654310220130167","article-title":"The industrial district and the \u2018New\u2019 Italian economic geography","volume":"10","author":"Sforzi","year":"2002","journal-title":"European Planning Studies"}],"container-title":["Enterprising Places: Leadership and Governance Networks"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/www.emeraldinsight.com\/doi\/full-xml\/10.1108\/S2040-724620140000003010","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.emerald.com\/books\/edited-volume\/chapter-pdf\/9342168\/s2040-724620140000003010.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,29]],"date-time":"2025-12-29T22:31:19Z","timestamp":1767047479000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.emerald.com\/books\/book\/15456\/chapter\/86658406\/Co-operation-Mechanisms-in-the-Portuguese-SMEs"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2014,7,9]]},"ISBN":["9781783506422","9781783506415"],"references-count":10,"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1108\/s2040-724620140000003010","relation":{},"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2014,7,9]]}}}
