Abstract: The interactive relationship between knowledge-intensive business services and manufacturing firms has been paid more attention. On the perspective of absorptive capability theory and path dependency theory, this paper analyzes the dual effects of knowledge intensive service acquisition on resource reconfiguration of manufacturing firms. Based on the multiple linear regression analysis, the results show that current knowledge intensive service acquisition can spur the resource reconfiguration, while the previous knowledge intensive service acquisition can reinforce the positive relationship between current knowledge intensive service acquisition and resource reconfiguration. And we find the evidence that the resource reconfiguration of manufacturing firms get double benefits from knowledge intensive service acquisitions. This paper also gives implications for manufacturing firms to confront with the competitive environment by the way of collaborating with knowledge intensive business services.
