Compatibility and unlearning in knowledge transfer in mergers and acquisitions

Despite wide recognition of the central role of knowledge and its transfer, extant research has focused much on some important aspects of knowledge transfer and paid little attention to others. We focus on two underexplored issues in the knowledge transfer literature, namely: (a) compatibility of new knowledge with recipients’ needs, interpretations of its past experiences and its existing norms, and (b) organizational unlearning, which moderates the relationship between compatibility and extent of successful knowledge transfer. We examine different types and dimensions of knowledge compatibility and organizational unlearning within our proposed knowledge transfer process framework. We situate our discussion primarily within knowledge transfer in cross-border mergers and acquisitions. Based on the proposed model, we also offer propositions future research can test.     

我国增值税扩围改革研究文献述评

分税制改革后,我国形成了增值税和营业税并存的局面,分别在中央和地方财政收入中占据主要地位,这对市场经济的运行造成了一定的扭曲,不利于经济结构的转型,因此增值税扩围改革势在必行。增值税扩围意味着营业税最终被取消,建立这样一个新体制对既有利益分配格局的冲击是显而易见的,在这一改革中如何兼顾各方面的利益将是增值税扩围改革能否取得成功的关键。本文主要对近年来国内学者关于增值税扩围及其相关问题的研究成果进行梳理,以期能为改革实践和有关研究提供参考。     

企业自主创新中个人知识利用策略研究

自主创新需要多个领域专家的参与,充分利用参与者所掌握的知识是自主创新取得成功的保障。使用委托代理模型分析了个人参与自主创新贡献其知识的努力水平、自主创新岗位工资、企业对监督的投入、个人工作时间之间的相互关系。在此基础上,提出了企业自主创新中的个人知识利用策略。     

创新导向的企业绩效管理体系构建——基于知识共享视角

知识经济时代,创新已成为组织获取并保持竞争优势的关键,组织构建创新导向的绩效管理系统非常重要。探讨了能够有效促进创新的绩效管理系统的特征,并从知识共享的视角,揭示了绩效管理体系和绩效考核反应推动创新的途径。     

知识异质性与知识创新绩效的关系研究

在界定知识异质性和知识创新绩效概念的基础上,基于相关研究文献,提出了知识异质性与知识创新绩效的关系假设,以企业研发团队为例,通过对有研发团队工作经验的142名员工进行问卷调查,并对获得的有关数据进行了分析。研究结果显示:团队成员的教育背景异质性对知识创新绩效产生负面影响;知识技能与职业经验异质性对研发团队知识创新绩效均有积极显著影响,藉此进行了实证分析,进而提出了对策建议。     

基于技术体制视角的高科技产业集群演变——以台湾中小企业为例

在对产业集群的分类和演变模式进行总结的基础之上,从技术体制视角,对台湾中小企业的案例进行了分析。研究证实:在全球化高科技产业竞争中,台湾产业集群竞争优势获得的关键要素是——内部和外部知识链的协同演进。按照传统模式运营的企业,需要通过产业集群内的企业互联和加入全球生产网络的方式,并融入更广阔的全球化渠道以重组知识链。     

基于知识转移的知识网络创新路径模型研究

运用知识转移理论、创新理论和知识网络理论的分析方法,提出了知识网络创新路径的问题。通过博弈模型和仿真模拟分析,构建了基于知识转移的知识网络创新路径模型。认为按照知识转移存量和开放度两个维度,知识网络创新可沿着3条非线性路径展开。     

知识网络演进视角下企业技术创新能力进化及政策建议

企业技术创新能力具有类生物进化的属性,基于该思想,以知识网络演进为背景,研究了知识网络对企业技术创新能力进化的作用,探讨了企业技术创新能力进化过程,进一步构建了企业创新能力进化的逻辑模型。研究发现,知识网络的循环演进通过知识获取、知识处理、知识共享和知识整合,促进企业技术创新能力不断进化。最后,分别从政策制定者角度和微观创新者角度,提出了促进企业技术创新能力进化的建议。     

终端用户导向、知识获取与服务接包企业绩效

主要探讨在大数据与云计算的新机遇下,服务接包企业如何增强自身的知识获取能力。已有文献主要从服务发包方与接包方二元视角研究接包方的知识获取与吸收。由于终端客户的战略地位在服务供应链中愈加凸显,尝试从发包方、接包方和终端用户三元视角探讨服务接包企业的终端用户导向对其知识获取与绩效的影响,以期为服务接包企业提升知识获取能力提供借鉴。     

How foreign knowledge spillovers by returnee managers occur at domestic firms: An institutional theory perspective

Instead of treating the spillover process as a black box, this paper conducts a qualitative study of foreign knowledge spillovers by returnee managers at Chinese firms. Unlike mainstream spillover studies which adopt economics approaches, this paper uses an institutional theory perspective and regards returnee managers as boundary spanners. Results show that returnee managers' boundary-spanning activities in the form of social interaction, including building relationships with colleagues and transforming their identities from outsiders to insiders, help gain legitimacy for their new roles. Their boundary-spanning activities in the form of grafting foreign knowledge, including understanding existing knowledge resources, introducing foreign knowledge to colleagues, and integrating foreign knowledge with domestic firms, help gain legitimacy for foreign knowledge. Foreign knowledge' contributions in new product development at product, process, and cultural perspective levels reinforce its institutionalization at domestic firms. Absorptive barriers include domestic firms' administrative heritage and returnee managers' arduous relationship with others.
