Corporate Entrepreneurship and Codification of the Knowledge Acquired from Strategic Partners in SMEs
研究了中小企业从战略伙伴获取知识的编码化程度如何促进公司创业活动，并发现伙伴关系多样性和关系强度会增强这一作用。
This work proposes that the level of codification of acquired knowledge positively influences the corporate entrepreneurship activities of SMEs and argues that this relationship is enhanced by the relational diversity of the partner that provides the knowledge and the strength of the relationship with this partner. The results obtained in a sample of 181 Spanish SMEs in the ITC sector confirm the hypotheses proposed. This research contributes to the corporate entrepreneurship literature by showing which types of knowledge (codified), sources of knowledge (the most important strategic partner), and relational conditions (tie strength and partner's relational diversity) can enhance corporate entrepreneurship.
