Abstract
La literatura señala a la joint venture como un instrumento para el emprendimiento
y el aprendizaje entre organizaciones. Este tipo particular de
cooperación entre empresas permite a sus socios desarrollar dos procesos de
aprendizaje: uno refente a los conocimientos por el socio en la join venture; y,
el otro, al aprendizaje del proceso de la cooperación. La mayoría de los estudios
que analizan la relación entre ambos tipos de aprendizaje sugiere que el
aprendizaje de los conocimientos proporcionados por el socio está influenciado
positivamente por el aprendizaje corporativo. En este estudio se analiza un
muestra de 81 empresas que han participado en una join venture. A partir de
la utilización de escalas propias, el estudio evidencia que la relación entre los
dos tipos de aprendizaje no es unidireccional, sino bidireccional.
Academic literature points to the joint venture as an instrument for entrepreneurship and interorganizational learning. This particular type of partnership allows partners to develop two learning processes: one concerns the knowledge provided by the partner in the joint venture, and the other revolves around the process of cooperation. Most studies that analyze the relationship between the two types of learning suggest that learning knowledge provided by the partner is positively influenced by cooperative learning. This study analyzes this assumption by looking at a sample of 81 firms that have participated in joint ventures. Using original measurement scales, the final results show that the relationship between the two types of learning is not unidirectional but bidirectional.
