Abstract: This study analyzes the influence on interorganizational learning attributed to differences in organizational cultures of partnering firms, through joint ventures. We attempt to carry out an in-depth analysis into the type of influences involved and whether they are positive or negative, or if they foster or hinder learning. We analyze a sample consisting of firms that had entered into a joint venture and then contrasted our hypotheses against the sample using structural equations. The results confirm the existence of a degree of influence and conclude that this influence is positive for this type of learning. Copyright Springer-Verlag 2011
