战略联盟中的知识获取与知识泄漏:基于竞合视角的研究

Knowledge Acquisition and Knowledge Leakage in Strategic Alliances: A Co-petition Perspective

本文探讨了联盟企业如何在最大化知识获取的同时减少知识泄漏的"边界困境"问题.基于竞合(copetition)视角,提出合作与竞争的同时存在是解决边界困境问题的重要机制.基于此,本文探讨了合作与冲突对知识获取、知识泄漏的单独及交互作用.来自205家联盟企业的双源数据结果表明,合作可以促进知识获取,但与知识泄漏存在U形关系;冲突降低了知识获取的程度,也会减少知识泄漏的产生;合作与冲突的同时存在可以促进知识获取并减少知识泄漏的发生.

It discussed how firms relied on co-petition（ i. e.,the coexistence of cooperation and competition） to maximize its knowledge acquisition and minimize its knowledge leakage simultaneously. By viewing cooperation and competition as＂co-petition＂factors in strategic alliances,it found that co-petition was a key mechanism to solve the＂boundary paradox＂. Specifically,it provided an integrated model to examine the direct and interactive effects of cooperation and competition on knowledge acquisition and knowledge leakage respectively. Findings from 205 dyad samples in China indicate that cooperation is positively related to knowledge acquisition while it has a U-shaped relationship with knowledge leakage. Competition is negatively related to knowledge acquisition and negatively related to knowledge leakage as well.Finally,co-petition enhances the extent of knowledge acquisition and reduces the extent of knowledge leakage.
