Résumé

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.
