Joint Learning in Innovative R&D Collaboration
通过比较三家供应商关系和三个内部研发伙伴关系的案例，分析了研发合作中联合学习的机制和促进因素，发现内部关系依赖动机、外部关系依赖信任。
The present study analyzes the mechanisms and facilitators behind joint learning in R&D collaborations by way of a qualitative comparative case study analyzing three supplier relationships and three internal R&D partnerships of the focal organization. The results suggest a single joint learning process for internal and external relationships in which the role of the customer and the facilitation of the joint learning process vary depending on the context. Whereas the role of motivation is central for joint learning in the internal relationships, mutual trust is important to the external relationships.
