Abstract
The
-
This study examines the impact of ‘supplier-side individual level’ factors pertaining to foreign expatriates, e.g., individual embeddedness and motivation, as well as a number of recipient-side variables, on tacit knowledge acquisition by Chinese firms through joint ventures.
-
Results indicate that individual embeddedness of foreign expatriates, and recipient-side variables such as recipient’s collaborativeness, its readiness, and the comprehensiveness of its acquisition methods play critical roles in the successful acquisition of tacit knowledge.
