Condiciones que facilitan la emergencia de la cooperación en organizaciones empresariales

Abstract

Emergency of the cooperation has been studied from two parallel and complementary perspectives: Structural factors and dynamic factors. Structural factors show the network’s features in which the individuals interact. To this date there is evidence that the quantity of individuals and the distance between them weighs on the cooperation emergency. The dynamic factors denote circumstances that are hard to forecast, arising from the interaction between the individuals. Some researches on the subject, emphasize the reliance, the shared knowledge, the need of reciprocal actions, etc. Nevertheless this researches are inconclusive. The necessary complementarity for the dynamic and structural characteristics for cooperation in business organizations is observed from these investigations, because of this, this study provides evidence that contributes to the identification of the dynamic factors that ease the emergency of the cooperation in business organizations with greater performance, like reciprocal actions, versatility and communication. The combination of three techniques of qualitative research were used in this project: Formulation of hypotheses through a literature review, structural analysis through an expert panel and a longitudinal case study.
