摘要

跨国转让和知识保护对于跨国企业(MNE)发展其网络伙伴的能力并同时维护竞争优势非常重要。然而,由于母国市场和东道国市场在文化和制度上的差异,跨国转让和知识保护对跨国企业来说可能具有挑战性。这就给多国企业带来了一个难题,即如何在知识转移(KT)和知识保护(KP)战略之间取得平衡。值得注意的是,迄今为止的研究主要是对这两个领域进行独立研究,缺乏综合视角。因此,在本文中,我们回顾了98篇探讨跨国企业在国际合资企业(IJV)安排下的知识转让/保护的学术文章,并对过去二十年(2000-2022年)的出版物进行了评估。借鉴制度理论和议价能力观点,我们建立了一个概念框架,强调了影响知识转移和知识保护的外部和内部因素。随后,我们借鉴从样本研究中获得的启示,在国际合资企业的特定领域内对这些因素进行了背景分析。这些因素之间的相互作用及其背景的细微差别,为我们提供了对如何在复杂的国际合资企业动态中管理知识的全面而深入的理解。此外,我们的综述还发现了文献中的新空白,并提出了一些未来研究的途径,从而有助于我们理解跨国企业的知识管理。

Knowledge transfer and protection in international joint ventures: An integrative review

Cross-border transfer and the protection of knowledge are important for multinational enterprises (MNEs) to develop their network partners’ capabilities while simultaneously safeguarding competitive advantages. However, they can be challenging for MNEs due to cultural and institutional differences between home and host markets. This poses a dilemma for MNEs, which is how to strike a balance between their knowledge transfer (KT) and knowledge protection (KP) strategies. It is notable that, so far, research has primarily investigated these two areas independently, lacking an integrative view. Therefore, in this article, we reviewed 98 academic articles exploring knowledge transfer/protection in MNEs operating under international joint venture (IJV) arrangements and assessed publications from the last two decades (2000–2022). Drawing from institutional theory and the bargaining power perspective, we developed a conceptual framework highlighting the external and internal factors influencing KT and KP. Subsequently, we contextualized these factors within the specific domain of IJVs, drawing on insights gleaned from the studies in our sample. The interplay of these factors, along with their contextual nuances, provides a holistic and in-depth understanding of how knowledge is managed within the complex dynamics of IJVs. In addition, our review contributes to our understanding of knowledge management in MNEs by identifying novel gaps in the literature and suggesting a number of avenues for future research.
