      abstract     = {Innovation collaborations experienced a substantial growth
                      during recent decades, so that research interest in factors
                      contributing to successful collaboration increased. One
                      proposed success factor is technological distance, which
                      determines the probability of receiving new knowledge from a
                      partner as well as the ability of absorbing it. The
                      methodology for measuring this distance is receiving broad
                      attention in current literature. Therefore, we compare
                      well-established measuring methods based on Euclidian
                      distances with the recently introduced method of the
                      min-complement distance.Collaborations along the entire
                      value chain are seen as a way to overcome technological
                      deficiencies associated with battery development for
                      electric mobility, which implies collaboration of partners
                      with different technological distances. Hence, we
                      specifically focus on cross-industry collaborations
                      comprising partners from the chemical and automobile
                      industries.Our results show that the methodology used
                      highlights different aspects of the approximation of
                      technological distance in the examined collaborations. The
                      use of the min-complement distance seems to be reasonable
                      due to the intuitive property of the independence of
                      irrelevant patent classes in cross-industry collaboration
                      settings.},
