“…Sendo assim, embora as alianças estratégicas ofereçam oportunidades para o compartilhamento de conhecimento, também levam ao risco, uma vez que pode haver vazamento de conhecimento para as empresas parceiras (Jiang et al, 2013).…”

Ao considerar o modelo de inovação aberta, com a cooperação entre agentes de inovação, a confiança é vista como um de seus principais fatores. Neste sentido, este estudo buscou investigar alguns fatores formadores da confiança interorganizacional, bem como seu impacto na cooperação de empresas pertencentes a habitas de inovação. Trata-se de uma pesquisa quantitativa, tendo como técnica de coleta de dados o survey e para a análise dos dados foi utilizada a técnica da modelagem de equações estruturais. Para tanto, a amostra foi composta por 68 empresas pertencentes a espaços de inovação vinculados a Rede Mineira de Inovação (RMI). Os resultados indicaram que a formação da confiança interorganizacional leva em consideração a reputação, boa vontade, a confiança interpessoal, competência e o capital social causando um alto impacto positivo na cooperação, ao contrário do oportunismo que modera a relação impactando negativamente.

“…Although a firm rarely depends on only one type of trust to manage partnerships, with few exceptions (Levin and Cross, 2004;Jiang et al, 2013), previous studies have typically employed unidimensional or global measures to empirically investigate the effects of inter-firm trust (e.g., Yeung et al, 2009;Cai et al, 2010;Molina-Morales et al, 2011;Hemmert et al, 2016). This approach ignores the complex nature of interfirm trust, leading to mixed empirical findings.…”

“…Legal inadequacy thus drives firms to rely on trust to resolve their disputes and gain institutional supports, and hence influences the effectiveness of trust (Cai et al, 2010;Sheng et al, 2013;Kuo, 2013). Therefore, an institutional contingency perspective provides an important lens to examine how inter-firm trust affects knowledge creation in R&D alliances (Cai et al, 2010;Jiang et al, 2013;Hemmert, et al, 2016).…”

Purpose This study aims to empirically investigate the effects of competence and goodwill trust on knowledge creation and the moderating effects of legal inadequacy on those relationships.Design/methodology/approach A questionnaire survey was used to collect data from 196 research and development alliances in China. Hierarchical moderated regression was used to test the research hypotheses.Findings We find that competence trust has a positive and linear relationship with knowledge creation while goodwill trust has an inverted U-shaped relationship with it.The results also reveal that the inverted U-shaped relationship between goodwill trust and knowledge creation is stronger when legal inadequacy is high, while the impact of competence trust on knowledge creation is not influenced by legal inadequacy. Originality/valueThe findings provide insights into the distinctive effects of competence and goodwill trust on knowledge creation in partnerships, deepening current understandings of the bright and dark sides of inter-firm trust. This study also clarifies the influences of legal inadequacy on the effectiveness of competence and goodwill trust, which enhances existing knowledge about the impact of legal systems on the relationships between inter-firm trust and knoweldge management.

“…High levels of ties encourage flexibility in the controlling mechanism (i.e., alliance governance) and furthermore, decreases risk. Many researchers insist that the level of strong ties between partners and the controlling mechanism are mutually complementary (e Silva et al, 2012;Inkpen and Currall 2004;Jiang et al, 2013;Nooteboom et al, 1997;Walker et al, 2007). More specifically, a high level of social network development diminishes the need for protective governance structures such as an EJV.…”

This paper explores the drivers of firms to enter into technological alliances by testing the relative effects of social networks and absorptive capacity on partner selection, governance and alliance performance. The results show within the sample of Korean high-tech SMEs that absorptive capacity is the primary driver of partner selection and alliance performance than social networks. However, neither absorptive capacity nor social networks were found to significantly affect the choice of technological alliance governance mode. Based on these findings, this study posits the driver of technological alliance formation among Korean SMEs is absorptive capacity. Discussion of these conclusions and implications for academics and business practitioners are discussed in the closing section of the paper.
