Research On The Motivation Mechanism Of Inter-organizational Knowledge Transfer From The Network Perspective

In the knowledge economy era, knowledge has become the most important strategic resource and the only source for the corporations to maintain competitive advantage, and the knowledge transfer has also become the best way for firms to absorb knowledge. At the same time, the globalization process and the science and technology progress push forward the competition as well as the cooperation among organizations, the upgrade of the competition urges organizations to take knowledge absorption as their core strategy, and the increase of the cooperation inevitably make organizations relate each other so as to be embedding in a formal or informal network. So, the all the inter-organizational knowledge transfer is carrying out in a specific network structure, study the knowledge transfer from the network perspective has not only the theoretical meaning, but also the practical value.Through summarizing all the knowledge transfer literature, we discover that the knowledge transfer research at present mainly focuses on the impact factors as well as the routes of the knowledge transfer in or among organizations; little research on the knowledge transfer from the network perspective doesn't analyze the motivation mechanism of knowledge transfer systematically. In fact, knowledge transfer is a dynamic system, which doesn't happen automatically, the motivation mechanism which pushes the knowledge transfer process carrying out continuously undoubtedly exist. Study the motivation mechanism of knowledge transfer is not only benefit to probe the nature of knowledge transfer, but also good to the corporations and other organizations to develop more motivation source of the knowledge transfer so as to get knowledge more effectively.This thesis generalizes and summarizes the national and abroad research literature on the knowledge transfer and network firstly, and define the network definition in this thesis we use, then analyze the network's total influence on the knowledge transfer, through build a dynamic network model of inter-organizational knowledge transfer, and based on the evolutionary game theory, we discuss the whole dynamic process of the inter-organizational knowledge transfer in the network perspective, depending on this, we build the stereoscopic network model, and analyze the generation and formation mechanism of the inter-organization knowledge transfer motivation, then, pose the motivation mechanism model of the inter-organization knowledge transfer from the network perspective, finally, through design and grant the questionnaire, analyze the questionnaire results using the SPSS statistical software, we do an empirical research on the relationship between the network structure and the motivation mechanism of the inter-organizational knowledge transfer from the network perspective.
