為因應資本國際化、生產技術快速變遷、產品生命週期縮短及全球市場的競爭激烈,企業間的策略聯盟活動更趨白熱化,因為聯盟合作是發展全球策略最快速且廉價的方法之ㄧ。策略聯盟的目的不僅是要達到組織間學習,還有策略性考量及交易成本考量,本研究針對策略聯盟中組織之間的學習及知識移轉進行探討。廠商想要從聯盟中學到知識,進而強化更新本身的能力,必須與聯盟夥伴進行互動。知識移轉是發生組織間學習及廠商能力發展的必要條件。組織間學習可藉由聯盟夥伴間資源配置及關係資本來達成雙方互動,廠商能力發展則端賴廠商吸收能力及策略相關性高低來形成內部成長。其中更會因聯盟型式及知識屬性的不同而產生不同的知識移轉績效。本研究以此為研究動機,試圖由過去學者所提出的研究整理出一個影響策略聯盟夥伴間互動,及其對廠商知識移轉績效影響之模型,配合實證的方式來驗證這些假設,並提出以下兩項主要之研究目的:
1. 探討聯盟夥伴間資源配置、關係資本、吸收能力及策略相關性對廠商知識移轉績效之影響。
2. 探討聯盟型式、知識屬性和關係資本、吸收能力及策略相關性的交互作用下,是否對廠商知識移轉績效有所影響。
本研究的母體是以中華徵信所所公布的5000大企業為主要調查對象,涵蓋了一般製造業、高科技產業及服務業,採取分層隨機抽樣,分為五層以亂數表選取之,共計發放500份問卷,問卷詢問對象為公司之高階管理者,並以公司為單位,一家廠商寄出一份樣本。回收之有效問卷為83份,問卷之有效回收率為16.66%。
研究結果發現夥伴間資源配置、關係資本、吸收能力及策略相關性的確會對廠商知識移轉績效產生影響;且關係資本及吸收能力與聯盟型式及內隱、特定知識屬性交互作用結果會產生較佳之知識移轉績效。本研究認為策略聯盟是一種既競爭且合作的微妙關係,學習能力較強的一方,很快就能取得主導地位,進而進行購併等活動;策略聯盟的管理本身便是一種能耐,企業若能致力於此種能耐,則能增強其未來策略聯盟成功的機會。然而台灣企業規模多偏向中小型,在科技技術尚未純熟之前,可藉由策略聯盟方式達到廠商自我技術的升級,因此聯盟過程中知識移轉績效越高,則越能內化成知識蓄積及知識管理,進而建立廠商核心優勢與競爭能力。
Strategic alliances are an important source of resources, learning, and thereby competitive advantage. Alliances are a critical mechanism for a company to learn and acquire knowledge resources to complement its own internal capabilities and resources. Although the increasing importance of the strategic alliances little has been done in the literature in examining the relationships among the internal and external determinants, the strategic alliances, and the performance of knowledge transfer. Therefore, this study attempts to fill the gap in the literature by providing an integrative research framework through extensive literature review to identify the key determinants and to examine the relationships among these determinants, partnerships interaction and knowledge transfer performance.
The population in the study is the top 5000 firms of Taiwan listed in the China Credit Information Service Incorporation. A random stratified sampling method was used to select 100 firms in each of the five levels. 500 questionnaires were mailed. Of the 500 questionnaires mailed, 89 responses were received and six of them were incomplete. The remaining 83 valid and complete questionnaires were used for the quantitative analysis. It represents a useable response rate of 16.66%.
The major finding of this study include: First, the results of the regression analyses show support for the direct effects of absorptive capacity, relational capital on the knowledge transfer performance. Secondly, the results of the ANOVA show that supplementary inter-partner resource alignment has a strongest difference then other type alignments on knowledge application and financial. Thirdly, Independent-Sample T test suggest that low strategic relatedness on innovation performed better than high strategic relatedness. Finally, the results of ANOVA and T-test analyses indicate that the alliance form, knowledge attribute have positively interaction effects with relational capital, absorptive capacity on the performances of the firms.
