摘要：

This paper analyses the influence of the relationship between the alliance partners on the effectiveness of knowledge transfer mechanisms in promoting inter-organisational learning. In particular, we are interested in the role of inter-partner competition. knowledge complementarity and trust in moderating the relationship between the use of various knowledge transfer mechanisms and an improved capability to manage R&D alliances. Our results suggest that firms can expect utmost learning benefits from the use of knowledge transfer mechanisms in the presence of high inter-partner competition. In addition, we observe amplifying effects of knowledge complementarity and trust on the effectiveness of knowledge transfer mechanisms.
