  • 全球商業環境變得越來越競爭,企業經營的不確定性逐漸升高,企業為了在此環境中生存開始形成策略聯盟。過去的相關研究指極大部分企業形成策略聯盟的主要目的在於分享知識,企業界可以藉由聯盟學習其他企業的經驗以增強自己在變動環境中生存的能力。然而實證研究也發現很多企業不能達成有效分享知識這個目標。為了要更深入瞭解在策略聯盟中知識移轉的影響因素,本研究探討夥伴間資源組合、聯盟型式與組織間差異性對知識移轉績效影響。
    本研究的母體是以 2006年中華徵信所所公佈的 5000大企業的製造業和高科技產業為主要調查對象。採取亂數表隨機抽樣,共計發放 500份問卷,詢問對象為瞭解公司經營策略之高階管理者,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 107份,問卷之回收率為 21.4%。
    研究結果發現夥伴間資源配置、聯盟形式、與組織間差異性的確會對廠商知識移轉績效產生影響。較佳的資源使用程度和夥伴間資源對聯貢獻度越相似與會產生較佳之知識移轉績效,但是如果夥伴間組織的多樣性越高則越不利於知識移轉。此外,聯盟形式會對夥伴間資源配置和組織間差異性產生干擾效果。在權益型的聯盟中,資源的使用程度越高於知識移轉的正向效果比契約型聯盟中高。如果要讓組織間差異性對知識移轉的傷害最小,則管理者需要用契約型的聯盟形式。

    Due to the heightened competitive and uncertain global business, many firms have formed alliances to survive. Several studies of strategic alliances have identified the sharing of knowledge as their dominant objective. Firms can use alliance to learn experiences from others and increase their capabilities. However, some empirical studies also found some firms fail to attain this object. In order to further understand the factors that may influence knowledge in strategic alliance, this study extends the research on knowledge transfer by investigating the effects of inter-partner resource alignment, alliance form, and organizational diversity on knowledge transfer performance.
    A sample of 500 Taiwanese companies was randomly drawn from the 2006 China Credit Information Service Incorporation yearbook. The questionnaires were requested to be completed by top executives who probably have better understanding about field of action pertain to the overall organization. From the 500 mailed questionnaire mailed in the study, 107 completed, usable questionnaires were collected, yielding a response rate of 21.4%.
    The major findings of this study include: First, the results of the regression analysis show strongly support for the direct effect of inter-partner resource alignment on knowledge transfer performance. Second, the results of the regression analysis indicate that contracted-based alliances will transfer knowledge more effectively than equity-based alliances. Third, the results of the regression analysis indicate that alliance form will moderate the linkage of inter-partner resource alignment and knowledge transfer performance. Forth, the results of regression analysis indicated that organizational diversity is negative related to knowledge transfer performance. Finally, the results of the regression analysis indicate that alliance form will moderate the linkage of organizational diversity and knowledge transfer
    performance.
