Las últimas dos décadas han sido testigo de un crecimiento mundial sin precedentes en el número de acuerdos estratégicos entre empresas. Esta creciente importancia de la cooperación interempresarial, junto con su inherente complejidad, han generado un interés progresivo por el estudio de este fenómeno, lo cual se ha materializado en una vasta, pero fragmentada literatura sobre el mismo. En respuesta a las demandas que plantea la anterior constatación, con este trabajo, hemos tratado de desarrollar un marco conceptual que, basado en el conocimiento y en los procesos de aprendizaje, creemos que integra, para el estudio de los procesos de cooperación entre empresas, una amplia serie de corrientes, aportaciones y conceptos dispersos en esa literatura.
