Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the role of collaborative experience on interorganizational
collaborations in the new product development (NPD) process, and
whether collaborative experience can act as a mediating and moderating variable. The
paper is motivated by the growing literature on the importance of inter-organizational
relationships stimulated by the idea that firms operate in networks and should therefore
be strategic about who to include in e.g. NPD projects. A growing literature has
concluded that trust and experience are vital tacit skills to build, which may be crucial in
establishing successful relationships. However, the empirical evidence reported in the
literature is still relatively scarce.
