Knowledge Acquisition in Production Networks: Effective Strategies for System Integrators and Component Specialists
研究了生产网络中不同位置的企业（组件专家与系统集成商）应采用何种知识获取策略，发现跨组织合作比内部获取更利于拓宽知识广度，且对系统集成商效果更强。
ABSTRACT This study provides new insight into the effectiveness of different knowledge acquisition strategies for organizations at different positions in a production network. Component specialists and systems integrators require a different knowledge repertoire in terms of knowledge depth and knowledge breadth. We show that a greater reliance on inter-organizational partnering than on intra-organizational acquiring is effective in the acquisition of knowledge breadth rather than knowledge depth. And the positive effect of a greater reliance on inter-organizational partnering on knowledge breadth is particularly strong for system integrators.
