다국적기업 내 지식이전과 성과에 대한 흡수역량과 동기요인의 결합적 영향에 관한 연구

초록

Firms typically seek to acquire knowledge from external sources because the effective sourcing, sharing and use of external knowledge have fundamental competitive implications. This is perhaps even more relevant for MNCs. MNC is considered to be a‘differentiated network’, where knowledge is created in various parts of the MNC, and is frequently shared and transferred across borders. Based on the perspectives of knowledge management and absorptive capability, this study empirically investigates the causal relationships between the characteristics of external knowledge and knowledge transfer, and the transfer of external knowledge and firm performance. It also examines the role of absorptive capability and absorptive motivation in terms of knowledge transfer and its effect on firm performance, with survey data collected from manufacturing subsidiaries of MNCs in Korea.
