Abstract

Purpose

In today’s swiftly evolving and intensely competitive business landscape, organisations increasingly recognise the significance of cross-border collaborative partnerships. International Strategic Alliances (ISAs) have emerged as effective platforms to foster innovation and gain a competitive advantage. Within the context of the hotel industry, which epitomises international operations, this study aims to investigate the pivotal role of knowledge transfer (KT) in the performance of ISAs.

Design/methodology/approach

The research framework draws on the influence of technological drivers (TD), organisational drivers (OD) and individual drivers (ID) on successful KT within ISAs. By analysing data from managers and owners of international hotel businesses using Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), this study empirically examines the relationships between these drivers and KT dynamics.

Findings

Findings highlight the direct impact of these drivers on KT and subsequent alliance performance. However, among these drivers, factors related to TDs, such as Web 2.0, knowledge management systems and IT infrastructure, generally received the highest values.

Originality/value

This study contributes to international business and knowledge management and sheds light on the intricate interactions between the drivers of KT and ISAs. The insights derived from this study provide a foundation for enhancing strategic alliance practices in a global context. By embracing KT mechanisms, organisations can harness collaborative potential, drive innovation and achieve sustainable growth.

释放知识跨界转移的活力：国际战略联盟的关键驱动力

目的在当今迅速发展、竞争激烈的商业环境中，企业越来越认识到跨国合作关系的重要性。国际战略联盟（ISA）已成为促进创新和获得竞争优势的有效平台。酒店业是国际运营的缩影，本研究旨在以酒店业为背景，探讨知识转移（KT）在国际战略联盟绩效中的关键作用。研究框架借鉴了技术驱动因素（TD）、组织驱动因素（OD）和个人驱动因素（ID）对国际战略联盟内成功知识转移的影响。本研究通过使用确认因素分析法（CFA）分析国际酒店企业管理者和所有者的数据，对这些驱动因素与 KT 动态之间的关系进行了实证研究。研究结果研究结果强调了这些驱动因素对 KT 和后续联盟绩效的直接影响。然而，在这些驱动因素中，与贸易发展相关的因素，如 Web 2.0、知识管理系统和 IT 基础设施，通常具有最高的价值。原创性/价值本研究为国际商务和知识管理做出了贡献，并揭示了知识管理驱动因素与国际服务协定之间错综复杂的相互作用。本研究得出的见解为在全球范围内加强战略联盟实践奠定了基础。通过采用知识共享机制，企业可以利用合作潜力、推动创新并实现可持续增长。
