Abstract: environment in which companies need to cope today.The aim here is to demonstrate that knowledge-related research and inter-organizational knowledge acquisition are of relevance in international business research.Furthermore, it is suggested that the KBV should be integrated into the development of a more thorough, behavioral and dynamic understanding of IOR management. The Research GapSo far, the vast field of IB research has incorporated many of the emerging ideas of the KBV (Peng 2001, 808-809).However, there seems to be a gap in the field of international business, and especially in research combining the KBV and relationship management.Consequently, there is an apparent need for further research in inter-organizational knowledge acquisition, and for an integrative framework (Inkpen 2002).These very needs were also emphasized in the opening panel discussion of the EIBA 2003 conference (Foss, panel discussion, 10.12.2003).
