    abstract = {The aim of this study is to provide new evidence on the relationship concerning 
R&D networking and firms competitiveness in a local SME entrepreneurial system. 
Researcher wants to investigate and test the role of R&D linkages on the firm’s 
productivity drivers and innovation processes. Researcher consequently presents 
an empirical evidence exploiting detailed and specific survey-based data on 63 
Italian SME’s. Researcher found that R&D networking (R&D partnerships 
and agreements) has a moderate impact on the SME’s productivity and a strong 
impact on the innovation processes. Finally on the practical implication of this 
moderate finding, researcher presents a R&D Model for support the competitiveness 
of SME’s located in peripheral districts.}
