Knowledge articulation and dynamic capabilities in firm collaborations: An empirical comparison of Taiwanese and South Korean Enterprises
Year: 2011
Type: article
Abstract: This empirical investigation demonstrates the gateways of knowledge articulation (KA) and dynamic capabilities (DCs) upgrading in inter- and intra-firm collaborations. Researchers investigated 363 Taiwanese inter-firm collaborations and 210 South Korean intra-firm collaborations to determine the role of dynamic learning drivers (DLDs) in upgrading KA and DCs. Manager integration power, external linkages, codification of experience, and ambiguity have a positive impact on KA in inter-firm collaborations. External linkages and repeated practice have a positive impact and previous experience has a negative impact on KA in intra-firm collaborations. KA has a strong positive influence on DCs upgrading in both inter- and intra-firm collaborations. This study shows how various DLDs upgrade KA and DCs in inter- and intra-firm collaborations and fills in some gaps in the study of KA and DCs upgrading according to the innovation routine approach.
Key words: knowledge, dynamic capabilities, inter-firm, intra-firm, learning, routine.
