中文摘要: 社会网络理论的兴起和广泛应用为研究跨国公司知识转移问题提供了新的视角。现有研究多聚焦于内部网络特征对知识转移的影响,却忽视跨国公司的多重复杂网络特性;多以发达国家跨国公司及其海外子公司为对象,却少有基于中国跨国企业及其海外子公司的研究。本研究从社会网络视角出发,立足海外子公司的制度双重性和网络节点身份多重性特征,以中国跨国公司海外子公司向母公司转移知识为研究对象,借助规范的多案例研究进行理论构建并以此为基础推进实证研究,重点探索母公司内部网络特征、母公司外部网络特征、海外子公司内部网络特征、海外子公司外部网络特征、以及母公司内外部网络不一致性、海外子公司内外部网络不一致性等对海外子公司向母公司转移知识的影响,在检验已有研究发现的同时,尝试以中国跨国公司海外子公司的网络化知识转移实践为基础构建并验证理论,丰富跨国公司知识转移理论,特别关于新兴国家跨国公司知识转移的理论,并为实践提供指导。

英文摘要: Complementing the traditional focus on the actors' attributes, the social network theory focuses on the relationships among actors other than the actors themselves. As the result, it provides a new perspective for the MNC knowledge transfer. As the importance of the social network theory, nowadays more and more scholars take the social networks into their studies on MNC knowledge transfer, instead of just focusing on the two parties (the source unit and the target unit) involved in the MNC knowledge transfer. However, nowadays studies, which are from the social network perspective, still have some theory gaps. Firstly, most of them put their attention on the MNCs' internal social network, while the MNCs locate in many intersecting social networks-including external network besides internal ones. Secondly, most studies' research objects are MNCs from developed countries. But China is a developing country, so those conclusions may be not applicable to Chinese MNCs. To fill the gaps, this study tries to take a more comprehensive view and a new research object. Firstly, this study considers the headquarters and the foreign subsidiaries as the nodes, which locate in many intersecting network and have different identities and different responsibilities. Secondly, this study uses Chinese MNCs as our research objects. A
