Abstract/Summary:
In the era of knowledge economy, knowledge resources into competitive advantage and core competitiveness of the source view has been widely recognized. Management guru Peter Drucker pointed out that "knowledge has become the key economic resources, and is the dominant source of competitive advantage, and may even be the only source." However, in the current business practices, but there are a lot of knowledge solitary island phenomenon. Knowledge Island is to enable enterprises to gradually lose the core competitiveness is difficult to obtain knowledge of competitive advantage."Knowledge island" phenomenon refers to the organization, knowledge and information resources can not be effectively cross-integration and knowledge sharing, and thus result in knowledge section between the split and the formation of the disordered state, as if the sea in a solitary island."Between sectors, between institutions and between a large number of "knowledge island", and "knowledge island" will lead directly to the overall interests of the business organization, inefficiency, poor transparency and knowledge of the waste of resources, it is difficult to achieve business inter-organizational knowledge sharing and win-win. Serious "Knowledge Island" has also become some of the foundry business into one of the reasons for the "OEM" lock.The knowledge-based economy has brought great social change, quick and rapid changes in the external environment, businesses are increasingly complex and changeable and full of uncertainty into the information and knowledge impacted technological revolution on the traditional corporate organizational theory and organizational forms, new challenges, fierce competition has also led to the corporate form of organization tends to complicate and network evolution, the new model of the business process or process-centered organization to be shipped students, including network organization, virtual organizations, strategic alliances, industry clusters, the value of galaxies and other emerging forms of intermediary organizations. Business organizations in order to adapt to the changing industry and market challenges, quick to adapt strategies and coordinated action, you must have a higher transparency of the exchange of knowledge systems and knowledge-sharing platform. The face of the "knowledge island", business organizations can do is to establish the association of inter-organizational knowledge, knowledge through the establishment of the knowledge chain of intermediary organizations to access and update knowledge the assistance and collaboration, knowledge innovation and application integration from intermediate organizations, knowledge sharing expertise, technical forums and best practices, thus effectively "knowledge island" conversion to the knowledge of the mainland.However, faced with the question of the evolution of business practices in the existence of a large enterprise knowledge chain, the field of theoretical research is lagging behind the status quo. In the current industry and market competition in practice, the organization in the form of the knowledge chain carrier has been extended to intermediary organizations, such as strategic partners, strategic alliances, and industry alliance of the knowledge chain evolution problems outstanding, while between these knowledge chain carrier existences of what kind of organization between relationships? Organizational relationships and how they affect the evolution of the knowledge chain? What is the system dynamic evolution of knowledge chain mechanism and evolutionary process and the evolutionary stage? If the researcher to focus on new problems and new phenomena appear in the current enterprise knowledge management practices, and assumptions to make the necessary expansion to be the necessary adjustments, the evolution of knowledge chain perspective on the evolution of the carrier of the knowledge chain, you can learn in business management areas build a knowledge chain evolution is more scientific and complete framework for thinking of the reality of the above problems also constitute a logical starting point of this writing.According to the logic and context, each chapter is organized as follows:Chapter1Introduction. Mainly around the research questions described the research background and significance, the research objectives of this study, research, study structure, research methods and research and innovation, and inadequacies.Chapter2Summary of the relevant theory. Discrimination; the basic concept and content related to this study describes the theoretical developments of the existing theory perspective on the knowledge chain; trust theory of this study is closely related to organization, the intermediate organization theory, knowledge chain The life cycle theory, and system evolution theory are reviewed to introduce the main ideas of each theory, and the revelation of the above theoretical basis of this study. The knowledge chain evolution theories are reviewed, pointing out that the evolution of the inadequacies of existing knowledge chain, and put forward the argument basis of this study.Chapter3The evolution of dynamical systems based on inter-organizational trust in the knowledge chain. The main analysis of the basic content of knowledge-based chain of evolution is the basic features and basic evolution mechanism. First of all, the connotation of the knowledge chain evolution. Secondly, according to evolutionary theory in transition in the evolution of the system and barrier ditch "theory, the knowledge chain evolution transformation evolutionary sequences, and investigate the reasons for the habitual defense and organizational inertia, the formation of mental models, the barrier ditch. Analysis of the evolution of the system content and evolution of the morphology of the knowledge chain, draw the essence of the question of the evolution of the knowledge chain is a research point of view of the fundamental changes in the morphology and forms of organization. The paper points out the nonlinear evolution of knowledge chain system. Self-organization and dissipative structures means the system dynamic characteristics. Use system dynamics method, to explain the inter-organizational trust in the mechanism evolution of dynamical systems of knowledge chain.Chapter4The Influence Factors of Knowledge Chain in Inter-firm Network based on the knowledge chain evolution. Further review of the theory and its classification based on the knowledge-based view of inter-organizational relations theory, based on the concept of social exchange transaction costs of inter-organizational trust, and pointed out that the dynamic trajectories of change in inter-organizational trust in the evolution of the knowledge chain. The chain of knowledge, trust and cooperation in inter-organizational in nature there is a synergistic effect between the three research point of view of evolutionary relationships. Questionnaire using SPSS17.0software on the recovery of valid questionnaires conducted a confirmatory factor analysis, exploratory factor analysis and principal component factor analysis method is the ultimate knowledge contained by the four dimensions, for a total of nine influence factors organization in the chain of evolution of trust between the impact factor models.Chapter5The system power mechanism and evolution of evolution based on inter-organizational trust in the knowledge chain. Further review of organizational change associated with the transition and its dynamic mechanism, the interaction between the various subsystems of the evolution of knowledge chain, to build a dynamic mechanism of the evolution of the knowledge chain system based on inter-organizational trust. The role of knowledge under the chain of evolution to analyze the basic framework of evolutionary economics, inter-organizational trust, built up the knowledge chain analysis of the evolution of the framework:R-S-N-C (Practice-Search-New Practice-Environmental Selection); review of the theory of knowledge innovation reveal the evolution of the knowledge chain innovation and variation based on inter-organizational trust, and a deeper level of cross-case analysis of Foton Motor and TD-SCDMA Industry Alliance, come to the individual enterprise knowledge chain management intermediary organizations The knowledge chain management has a significant impact on the conclusions, and the resulting evolution of knowledge chain model based on inter-organizational trust.Chapter6The empirical research of Inter-organizational trust in the role of the evolution of the knowledge chain. Individual the enterprise knowledge chain management, environmental dynamic, inter-organizational trust relationship with the middle of organizational knowledge chain management through the questionnaire further. Come to the following findings:inter-organizational trust establishment of knowledge chain management’s mediating effect on individual enterprise knowledge chain management and intermediary organizations; environmental dynamics on the individual enterprise knowledge chain management and inter-organizational trust relationship adjustment effect partially substantiatedChapter7The research conclusions and outlook. The conclusions of this paper summarize the proposed research prospects, and relatively reasonable and possible recommendations for our enterprise knowledge chain practice in accordance with the conclusions of the study.Innovation may in this paper are mainly the following two points:(1) The inter-organizational trust is a new research perspective. In this paper, the New Perspective on the evolution of a knowledge chain-the inter-organizational trust perspective."Inter-organizational trust" as the dimension of the close relationship in the inter-organizational relations, from the psychological level of the organization’s in-depth study of the knowledge chain in the evolution of different levels of trust relationships and the system dynamic mechanism,"Standing in the organization to Analysis of the evolution of the knowledge chain "process black box" perspective "point of view, to ignore the inter-organizational relations and cooperation mechanism is the lack of a powerful complement to existing knowledge chain evolution literature, and contemporary dynamic environment of the enterprise knowledge resources cooperation practice with a strong guiding significance to the question of the evolution of knowledge chain from the theory of a gray area to the practice of clear zone "the possibility of a useful attempt.(2) Reveal the evolution of the knowledge chain further. The theoretical model constructed in this paper is not only the evolutionary stage of the chain of knowledge to reveal the general laws of life cyclical characteristics, further revealed trust in the knowledge chain member organizations with the knowledge chain life cycle gradually established and has a level evolutionary, multi-level inter-organizational trust has become the progressive evolution of the knowledge chain system dynamic mechanism induced factors, that is, in essence, inter-organizational trust, knowledge chain, the effectiveness of cooperation with dynamic symbiotic relationship. Further revealed the evolution of the knowledge chain, the nature of the problem of evolution of knowledge chain "Refocusing" Evolution of the knowledge chain from a single useful to try to systematic, and expand the theoretical framework of the knowledge chain also help to break the black box "of knowledge-based chain of evolution" process, and is conducive to supplement the resources of the individual knowledge is limited "knowledge gap" and "knowledge island", knowledge sharing, improve the cooperative performance.
