The aim of the paper is to develop a model of successful collaborative learning for company innovativeness. First of all, the paper explores the issue of inter-firm learning, focusing its attention on collaborative learning. Secondly, inter-firm learning relationships are considered. Thirdly, the ex ante conditions of collaborative learning and the intra-organizational enhancers of inter-firm learning processes are studied. Finally, a model of the critical success factors for collaborative learning is developed. (original abstract)

Celem artykułu jest zbudowanie modelu kluczowych czynników sukcesu dla procesów kooperatywnego uczenia się zachodzących pomiędzy współpracującymi przedsiębiorstwami. Po pierwsze, w artykule przedstawiono istotę międzyorganizacyjnego uczenia się koncentrując się na zagadnieniu kooperatywnego uczenia się. Po drugie, rozważaniom poddano problemy relacji międzyorganizacyjnych ukierunkowanych na wzajemne uczenie się. Po trzecie, zidentyfikowano i opisano czynniki niezbędne ex ante do zaistnienia efektywnych procesów międzyorganizacyjnego uczenia się oraz uwarunkowania wewnątrzorganizacyjne stymulujące te procesy. Ukoronowaniem rozważań jest zaproponowany przez autorów model opisujący kluczowe czynniki sukcesu procesów kooperatywnego uczenia się zachodzących pomiędzy współpracującymi przedsiębiorstwami.
