摘要：

Even though much studies has explored the firm's knowledge search strategies on various knowledge sources in the external environment, little has been done on firm's knowledge search strategies in the scientific fields. To fill this gap, we analyze firm's search strategies based on the data of scientist mobility from a university-industry interaction program-the Guangdong's Technical Expert Secondment Program for the years 2008-2012. The results reveal that most of the firms search knowledge in a limited number of scientific disciplines, but search deeply. Though, firms' search breadth and search depth both increase along with the search duration. In addition, firms from different industries also show great difference in their search distances in the geographical space. Drawing from the above findings, we propose some policy and managerial implications.
