本文探讨了一个跨组织的合资企业，专门为开发和商业化的新技术产品的技术创新的发展过程中的试错学习的过程。我们开发了一种自适应学习模型，它结合了实验室学习模型的元素，并将其应用于实地研究环境。学习模型的重点是目标之间的关系，行动和创新团队在合资企业内的成果，因为它开发的创新随着时间的推移，环境事件和外部干预的母公司资源控制者对学习过程的影响。该模型进行了测试的基础上，从1983年至1988年的生物医学创新治疗性单采的发展的实时纵向研究。在创新发展的不同阶段，观察到不同的学习模式。事件时间序列分析显然矛盾的学习模型在最初的扩张期，但强烈支持该模型在随后的收缩期。解释为什么这些不同的组织学习模式随着时间的推移发生，并集中在一组组织结构和实践，通常用于管理创新发展，但抑制学习。
This paper examines processes of trial-and-error learning during the development of a technological innovation by an interorganizational joint venture created expressly for developing and commercializing products from the new technology. We develop a model of adaptive learning, which incorporates elements from laboratory models of learning and applies them to the field research setting. The learning model focuses on relationships between the goals, actions, and outcomes of an innovation team within the joint venture as it develops the innovation over time, and the influences that environmental events and external interventions by resource controllers in parent companies have on the learning process. The model is tested based on a real-time longitudinal study of the development of a biomedical innovation therapeutic apheresis from 1983 to 1988. Different patterns of learning were observed in different periods of innovation development. Event time series analyses clearly contradict the learning model during an initial expansion period, but strongly support the model during a subsequent contraction period. Explanations for why these different patterns of organizational learning occurred over time are provided, and focus on a set of organizational structures and practices which are commonly used to manage innovation development, but which inhibit learning.
