 "Knowledge Integration in the Shadow of Spillovers"\n\nRésumé\nManageria
 l practices are important drivers of firm productivity. In this paper\, we
  focus on how firms manage knowledge exchanges across their different func
 tions\, a set of practices that we denote "Knowledge Integration" (KI)\, w
 hich has been shown to  increase the productivity of R&D assets. We empir
 ically analyze the drivers of KI adoption within firms and in particular h
 ow it is affected by the threat of knowledge spillovers to the competition
  associated with these practices\, controlling for different appropriabili
 ty conditions. Using confidential survey data from 1\,378 R&D labs of manu
 facturing firms in the United States\, we estimate the probability of adop
 tion of these practices as a function of  firm- and market-level characte
 ristics. We find that the intensity of (tacit) knowledge spillovers at the
  market level has a negative and significant impact on the likelihood that
  firms adopt KI\, with detrimental consequences for innovation and R&D per
 formance.
