RESUMEN
La literatura sobre cooperación empresarial hace especial énfasis en diversos factores claves de éxito. Nos centraremos en dos de los que poseen mayor componente social, como son la confianza y el compromiso, con el objetivo de evaluar si ambas variables presentan diferencias significativas entre los diversos motivos que llevan a las empresas a cooperar. Si éstas se produjeran tendría importantes repercusiones para la gestión empresarial, ya que el directivo tendría más información en el proceso de toma de decisiones, al identificar motivos para cooperar que tienen asociado mayor nivel de dichos factores claves de éxito. Además, aplicamos el estudio empírico al sector agroalimentario español, porque consideramos que existe escasez de investigación sobre cooperación en los sectores maduros de baja intensidad tecnológica.

ABSTRACT
Literature about cooperative agreement shows us the importance of some factors in the success of the cooperative agreements. We will focus on the study of two variables with high social component, such as trust and commitment. Our objective is to evaluate if there are significant differences in both variables between the different reasons that motive companies to cooperate. If these significant differences appear there will be important managerial implications because managers would have more information in the decision making process because they would be identifying some reasons with higher level of those success key factors. Moreover, we carry out the empirical study in Spanish agro-alimentary industry because we consider that there are a few studies about cooperative agreement in mature sector with low technological component.
