中国企业海外子公司逆向知识转移研究

Research on Reverse Knowledge Transfer of Overseas Subsidiaries of Chinese Enterprises

基于"跳板理论",采集中国跨国公司在发达经济体的155家海外子公司的数据,构建回归模型,系统考察国家、行业、企业和知识属性等多个层面的多种因素对中国跨国公司海外子公司逆向知识转移行为的影响。研究结果表明:母公司"跳板"意图对海外子公司自治权和逆向知识转移有显著正向影响;母公司感知国内制度约束,对海外子公司自治权和逆向知识转移有显著正向影响;海外子公司的自治权对其逆向知识转移有显著正向影响。

Based on the“springboard theory”,this study selects Chinese overseas subsidiaries of multinational enterprises in developed economies as samples and builds regression models to examine the influence of the state,industry,enterprise,and multiple levels of factors such as intellectual property,on the reverse knowledge transfer behavior of EMNEs overseas subsidiaries.The results show that EMNEs parent“springboard”intentions have significant and positive impacts on overseas subsidiary autonomy and reverse knowledge transfer.EMNEs parent company’s perceived domestic institutional constraints in China has significant and positive impacts on the overseas subsidiary’s autonomy and reverse knowledge transfer.EMNEs’overseas subsidiaries’autonomy has significant and positive effects on reverse knowledge transfer.This study has important theoretical contributions to MNEs research and knowledge transfer for EMNEs overseas subsidiary research.
