Research Joint Ventures (RJVs) are
project environments that typically focus on the development of innovations and
ideas. The development and management of knowledge is the primary objective for
these RJVs. To help understand the practices and characteristics of RJV
knowledge management and learning processes we introduce a taxonomy for these
types of project environments. The taxonomy is developed from the literature
with supporting case examples to help categorize RJVs’ practical and research
orientations. The taxonomy is a two dimensional grid that includes locus of
technology and the learning and knowledge integration process (or knowledge
management approach).
