Signaling the Strategic Value of Knowledge
研究以知识为主要竞争资源的企业如何向资本和劳动力市场传递知识价值信号，同时避免知识泄露给竞争对手，构建了基于不确定性的分析框架。
Firms competing primarily on knowledge resources face problems in informing relevant external stakeholders about the value of that knowledge without losing its value. This knowledge may be transferred to stakeholders only at great expense, or that transfer of knowledge to stakeholders may simultaneously promote its transfer to competitors. By conceptualizing firms and the environments within which they compete to differ in levels of uncertainty, this paper develops a framework to examine signaling mechanisms firms can use to effectively signal the value of their knowledge to two key stakeholder groups, the capital and labor markets, while avoiding associated transfer problems.
