国际合资联盟是中国企业与海外企业理想的学习平台。但是,双方知识的获取难易程度、吸收能力和知识保护程度的差距,导致中国企业常常处于不利位置。为了达到获取知识的目标,中国企业需要保持或增加在国际合资联盟中的议价权力。探讨了三个方面的问题:首先是中国企业知识保护和吸收能力对其议价权力的影响,其次是中国企业议价权力对知识获取的直接和间接作用,最后还探讨了吸收能力对知识获取的直接和调节作用。

International joint ventures （IJVs） are viewed as a ideal way to learn for Chinese partners and foreign partners. However, Chinese firms are often in the disadvantage position because of the knowledge＇ nature that is usually more difficult to acquire for local partner than for the foreign partner, the distance of absorptive capacity between partners is big, and the distance of degree of knowledge protection between partners. In order for acquiring the knowledge from foreign partner, local partner need to retain / increase bargaining Power in IJV. This article explores three aspects.
