Abstract: To uncover what makes the knowledge transfer effectiveness different in technology alliance at the enterprise organization level, this paper puts forward a series of hypothesis that the knowledge transfer effectiveness may be impacted by inter-organizational learning and/or strategy flexibility. 308 questionnaires survey of alliance enterprises in North China (e.g. Shanxi, Tianjin) was analyzed using structural equation model based on maximum likelihood estimation. The results show that inter-organizational learning can significantly enhance the different strategy flexibility (resource flexibility and capability flexibility); Knowledge transfer effectiveness in technology alliance is positively affected by capability flexibility but negatively affected by resource flexibility. Interestingly, inter-organizational learning can still positively affect knowledge transfer effectiveness in technology alliance although it is distracted by the negative conduction of resource flexibility. Moreover, inter-organizational learning and different strategy flexibility affect knowledge transfer effectiveness in technology alliance significantly differ. This study promotes the related theoretical research and offers an operable guidance for the practical collaboration of alliance enterprise.
