Resumen

Dada la importancia que ha tenido la subcontratación en los últimos años y el auge de las cadenas de suministro, gestionarlas de forma eficiente es un factor clave a tener en cuenta para mejorar el rendimiento de la empresa. Una buena relación con los clientes/proveedores aumenta el flujo de comunicación e información entre ambos, lo que les permite aprender unos de otros, logrando que haya aprendizaje organizacional y llegar a la obtención de una ventaja cooperativa que sea beneficiosa para ambos. Sin embargo, a pesar de ser muchas las ventajas de esta relación, las empresas son reacias a compartir información de su organización, encontrándose con la controversia de perder control y protección de su organización. El objetivo de este trabajo es construir un marco teórico que permita explicar las variables que determinan el grado de influencia del aprendizaje organizacional dentro de la cadena de suministro. La metodología seguida ha sido una revisión de la literatura previa que nos ha servido de apoyo para cumplir el objetivo propuesto. Como resultado de este trabajo, hemos detectado que los factores clave para la búsqueda del aprendizaje organizacional en la cadena de suministro se agrupan en tres: externos a la organización, internos a la misma y relacionales, inherentes a la relación que mantiene con los integrantes de la cadena de suministro a la que pertenece. AbstractGiven the significant role played by subcontracting in recent years and the rise of supply chains, manage them efficiently is a key factor to consider for improving business performance. A good relationship with customers / suppliers increases the flow of communication and information between them, allowing them to learn from each other, making and organizational learning have come to obtain a cooperative advantage that is beneficial to both. However, despite being many advantages of this relationship, companies are reluctant to share information about your organization, meeting the controversy of losing control and protection of your organization. The objectives of this work are to analyze the influence of organizational learning within the supply chain because it improves the situation of the company, not only in terms of reducing costs but also optimize performance, consider some of the variables that influence this learning and suggest several proposals, laying the groundwork for future research.
