The affect (effect) of knowledge transfer on multinational enterprises and international strategies
Abstract
Knowledge has become a widely recognized competitive asset for the
multinational enterprise. The movement of this knowledge, from parent to
subsidiary, inter-subsidiary, or between individuals presents a number of
challenges for the organization, as well as exposing opportunities for
competitive advantage. Exploiting this advantage, therefore, necessitates an
understanding of the determinants of this knowledge asset, how it is
transferred effectively, and how it can be used to in conjunction with
international organizational design and strategy.
