Organizational Knowledge Creation in the Chinese Context
探讨制度变迁如何影响中国不同所有制企业的组织知识创造模式,提出相关命题,并分析制度化对知识创造和创新带来的影响。
This paper elaborates theories of organizational knowledge creation by exploring the implications of institutional change for organizational knowledge creation in Chinese organizations of different ownership forms. Using a dynamic institutional perspective, we discuss prominent characteristics of the Chinese context and develop propositions about knowledge creation patterns in different organizational forms. We also theorize about the effects of increasing institutionalization on patterns of organizational knowledge creation in China and the consequent implications for innovation. We conclude with a discussion of the theoretical implications of this model and suggestions for further research.
