Abstract: This paper systematically constructs a framework on what determines the knowledge transfer of global network flagships to local firms from the perspective of global production networks, and it enriches our understanding on the mechanisms of knowledge transfer. The empirical results from 105 Chinese sample firms show that: (1) Knowledge transfer intensity, absorptive capacity of local firms and obstacle of knowledge transfer platform are the main factors that affect knowledge transfer performance. Knowledge transfer intensity has mediating effects on the relationship between knowledge exchange, willingness to knowledge transfer and knowledge transfer performance; (2) These effects vary under different types of ties between global network flagships and local firms. Compared with intrafirm tie, e.g. FDI, under the condition of interfirm tie, e.g. OEM, the positive effects of knowledge transfer intensity, absorptive capacity of local firms on knowledge transfer performance will be weakened, while the negative effect of obstacle of knowledge transfer platform on knowledge transfer performance will be strengthened.

摘要： 本研究从全球制造网络的视角系统构建了旗舰企业对本地企业知识转移的影响因素框架，丰富了以往对知识转移作用机制的认识。通过105家中国样本企业的实证研究表明：(1)旗舰企业知识转移强度、本地企业吸收能力、知识转移平台障碍是影响知识转移绩效的三个重要因素，其中旗舰企业的知识转移强度在双方知识交流、旗舰企业转移意愿与知识转移绩效间起中介作用；(2)双方联结方式对这三个因素影响知识转移绩效具有调制作用。相对于企业内联结，企业间联结方式下旗舰企业知识转移强度、本地企业吸收能力对知识转移绩效的正向效应减弱，知识转移平台障碍对知识转移绩效的负向效应增强。
