Formal and informal interorganizational learning within strategic alliances |
Abstract:
Learning behaviors of employees can be either formalized (in the form of programmed
events and visits) or informal (in the form of spontaneous interaction and knowledge
sharing).We investigate the effect that both types of learning behaviors have on interorganizational
learning of substantive knowledge in the context of an alliance. We also look at
the effects that the two forms of learning behavior have on each other. We find that while
informal learning behaviors have a consistently positive effect on the learning outcome and
on formal learning behaviors, this is not so for formal learning behaviors. The effect of formal
behaviors on both learning outcome and informal behaviors, while positive, diminishes
at higher levels. This leads us to conclude that although both informal and formal learning
behaviors foster interorganizational learning, too much formalization obstructs learning.
Similarly, while formally programmed behaviors do encourage informal learning behaviors
of the boundary spanners, an excess of formalization stifles them |
