Interorganizational learning studies often examine partnerships and joint ventures, in which partners have entered into these relationships with learning as a specific goal. This paper addresses an identified need for empirical studies on how interorganizational learning unfolds within organizations and connects to intraorganizational learning. This is explained by the interorganizational learning context and the organizations’ motivation for learning at a strategic level.
The case identified interorganizational learning within the organizations at the individual, group and organizational levels, but only a few learning signs could be viewed as bidirectional interorganizational learning that can create knowledge and competitive advantages for the organizations. The primary data acquisition methods comprised semi-structured interviews and observations. The organizations involved were the ships, the shipowner’s office and the ship engine supplier. The case study was conducted over a period of over one year and focused on a buyer of freight ships and a seller of servitized technology used on the ships. Furthermore, this paper also addresses and discusses work practices, and the relationship between intra- and interorganizational learning.Ī case study entailing the introduction of digital technology and a new business model into the maritime industry was used as an empirical example of interorganizational learning. This examination emphasized unraveling how the buyer and seller in the case study interacted and transferred knowledge when using a new business model that relied on servitization. This paper aims to present the results from a case study that investigated interorganizational learning in a buyer and seller relationship in the context of the maritime industry. The contributions of this study are as follows: (1) Theoretically, it provides a basis for user satisfaction as an important aspect of output specifications and new evidence on the impact of accountability and corruption on defining output specification (2) institutionally, it provides advice for the optimization of output specifications in PPP procurement and (3) practically, these findings are insightful for improving the definition of output specifications of PPP projects that can enhance performance in PPP projects. Robustness tests demonstrate the reliability of the effects of accountability and corruption on the attention paid to user satisfaction. We found the following: the stronger the accountability, the more emphasis the purchaser attaches to user satisfaction, whereas the higher the level of corruption, the less attention the purchaser places on user satisfaction. To explore the factors that influence the definition of output specifications, we took 6714 PPP projects as a sample and used the logit regression model to discuss the links between accountability and corruption in the definition of user satisfaction. Theoretically, user satisfaction is vital for output specifications, but it has received insufficient attention in theoretical research and practice. The paper helps advance OSM research in this area by providing a structured overview of definitions, theories, conceptual frames, methods and empirical studies from other disciplines.ĭefining output specifications is a prerequisite for achieving Public-Private Partnership (PPP) procurement performance. examining the potential of PBC as means for managing sustainability and innovation goals of supply chains. Eight specific suggestions for future OSM research are offered, e.g. The paper concludes that future OSM research should expand its theoretical framework and empirical focus to better understand PBC design and management. The comparative analysis of literature by discipline helps identify current empirical and theoretical limitations of relevant OSM studies. A classification framework of PBC research is proposed, addressing key aspects of PBC design and management: performance specification and evaluation, the design of incentives and their impact on supplier behaviour and risks allocation depending also on the risk attitudes of buyers and suppliers. The research is based on a systematic literature review of 241 peer-reviewed articles across disciplines, published between 19. It also seeks to examine how the operations and supply management (OSM) discipline in particular relates to PBC studies in other study fields.
This paper aims to provide a review and synthesis of the performance-based contracting (PBC) literature across academic disciplines.
