“…To some extent, the resources are both location-bound and firmspecific, as argued by Rugman and Verbeke (1992). When resources from foreign and local partners are pooled together, they are neither easily nor spontaneously integrated due to the stickiness (or tacitness) and embeddedness of knowledge itself (Kogut/Zander 1995, Szulanski 1996 and the compatibility and complementarity between different parent-contributed resources (Lado/Boyd/Hanlon 1997, Madhok 1997. Thus, capability exploitation, if equipped, is a key element of broadly defined "joint venture competence" that combines complementary resources in a manner that contributes to venture success (Dyer/Singh 1998, Lambe/Spekman/Hunt 2001.…”

and Key Results • This study investigates (1) how capability exploitation and capability upgrading are associated with IJVs' financial and competitive outcomes in an emerging market, and (2) how environmental dynamism (the key construct characterizing an emerging market) and interpartner cooperation (the key construct describing an IJV) moderate the effect of capability exploitation and upgrading on IJV performance. • Results suggest that IJVs in a foreign emerging market tend to perform better in both financial and competitive terms when they possess greater abilities to exploit current resources contributed by foreign and local partners and to continuously upgrade and develop new capabilities. • The contribution of capability exploitation and upgrading to IJV performance is stronger when IJVs operate in a more dynamic environment. When interpartner cooperation is superior, capability exploitation plays a bigger role in improving performance.

“…The fact that some firm might accept geographic proximity in some areas does not preclude aggressive reactions and retaliation in other areas. Following Lado et al (1997), one can think that a combination of aggressive and cooperative competitive moves brings a higher performance. It would thus be interesting to study chain location strategies globally rather than on a limited geographical space.…”

“…As redes de cooperação constituem uma alternativa para a redução das ações oportunistas, em virtude dos menores custos burocráticos e contratuais. Essa característica das redes é proporcionada tanto pelas salvaguardas endógenas, geradoras de pressões sociais em prol da manutenção dos relacionamentos (Ring & Van de Ven, 1994), quanto pelo risco da perda dos ganhos coletivos, em decorrência de sanções ou de exclusão da rede (Lado, Boyd, & Hanlon, 1997). Assim, o custo do comportamento oportunista é maior para as empresas associadas em redes de cooperação, em relação às relações de mercado (Gulati, Nohria, & Zaheer, 2000), evitando que um associado egoísta possa receber os benefícios de outro e não arcar com os custos em retribuição (Axelrod, 1990).…”

A cooperação entre empresas, na forma de redes, tem-se destacado como configuração organizacional alternativa, em resposta às recentes transformações econômicas. O elevado número de iniciativas e a carência de pesquisas empíricas, acerca da formação de redes no Brasil, motivaram a realização do presente estudo. O objetivo principal deste artigo é compreender os fatores que afetam o estabelecimento de redes de cooperação no contexto sul-brasileiro. Para alcançar tal objetivo, empreendeu-se uma pesquisa quantitativa em 443 representantes de empresas associadas a 120 redes de cooperação. Os dados empíricos foram coletados pelos pesquisadores em 2005 e processados estatisticamente pelo método de análise conjunta. Os resultados obtidos confirmam as proposições teóricas construídas pelos pesquisadores, apontando a importância de fatores como aprendizagem e inovação, aumento de escala e de poder de mercado, e acesso a soluções.
