Secondly, based on the relevant theory, we measure the variablesof the model, and design the initial scale. After a small sample research and modify,form the final questionnaire. Finally, after distribution and collection questionnaires ofgarment enterprises’ management, we test and analysis the model and hypothesisthrough the date factor analysis, correlation and regression analysis. Through empirical analysis, this research get the following conclusions: garmententerprises’ partner social capital has a significant positive effect on knowledgeacquisition, meanwhile the three dimensions of corporate partner social capital playdifferent role on knowledge acquisition’s two dimensions; knowledge acquisitionhave a significant impact of quick response capability, and the amount of knowledgeacquisition dimension influence quick reaction capability most; knowledgeacquisition plays an intermediary role between corporate social capital and quickresponse capabilities.
