On The Performance Of Technology-Sourcing Partnerships: The Interaction Between Partner Interdependence And Technology Attributes
从知识视角出发，研究技术获取型合作中，技术的可模仿性、独特性和不确定性如何与伙伴相互依赖共同影响合作成效，对95个合作案例进行了跟踪分析。
This study examines the outcomes of technology-sourcing partnerships from the sourcing firms' point of view. Using a knowledge-based perspective, the authors develop a contingency model suggesting how the imitability, uniqueness, and uncertainty associated with a technology interact with partner interdependence to influence sourcing outcomes. Ninety-five sourcing arrangements spanning licensing, joint development, and acquisitions were examined close to the time of conception and three to four years afterward. Overall, the results support a contingency framework.
