Learning and Knowledge Transfer in Strategic Alliances: A Social Exchange View
基于社会交换理论，研究了战略联盟伙伴间的社会交换过程（如互惠承诺、信任和相互影响）对学习与知识转移的促进作用，基于144个联盟的管理者数据进行了实证检验。
Although social interactions and exchanges between partners are emphasized as imperative for alliance success, comprehensive examination of how social exchanges facilitate learning and knowledge transfer in strategic alliances is lacking. Drawing on social exchange theory, we examined the effects of social exchange processes between alliance partners on the extent of learning and knowledge transfer in a strategic alliance. An empirical examination of data collected from alliance managers of 144 strategic alliances revealed that social exchanges such as reciprocal commitment, trust, and mutual influence between partners are positively related to learning and knowledge transfer in strategic alliances.
