Knowledge, strategy, and the theory of the firm
论文认为企业拥有特殊的制度能力,能比市场合约更有效地保护知识不被侵占或模仿,这种能力是企业生成和保护独特资源与能力的关键。
Abstract This paper argues that firms have particular institutional capabilities that allow them to protect knowledge from expropriation and imitation more effectively than market contracting. I argue that it is these generalized institutional capabilities that allow firms to generate and protect the unique resources and capabilities that are central to the strategic theory of the firm.
