摘要

本研究為探討母公司與子公司的特質、移轉的知識屬性與母公司對子公司的管理投入，對於知識移轉績效的影響。母公司的特質包含母公司的知識存量與移轉能力；子公司的特質包含寬裕資源、吸收能力、探索能力與利用能力；移轉的知識屬性分為內隱知識與外顯知識；以及母公司對子公司的管理投入程度。
根據過去文獻探討，建立本論文的研究架構並提出命題。母公司的知識存量與移轉能力，及子公司的寬裕資源、吸收能力、探索能力與利用能力對於知識移轉績效均有正面影響；當母公司在子公司的管理投入程度越高，會使子公司的寬裕資源與吸收能力對於知識移轉績效有更強化的正面影響；而當移轉知識屬於內隱知識時，會使子公司的探索能力對於知識移轉績效有更強化的正面影響，當移轉知識屬於外顯知識時，會使子公司的利用能力對於知識移轉績效有更強化的正面影響。

The main purpose of this research is to study the effects of parent and subsidiary characteristics, knowledge attributes and management involvement on knowledge transfer performance. Parent characteristics are including knowledge stock and transfer capacity. Subsidiary characteristics are including slack resource, absorptive capacity and exploration capability and exploitation capability. Knowledge attributes can divide to tacit and explicit knowledge. Management involvement is from parent to subsidiary.
Based on past studies, this thesis establish research framework and propose propositions. The MNC parent’s knowledge stock, transfer capacity are positively related to knowledge transfer performance. The MNC subsidiary’s slack resource, absorptive capacity and exploration and exploitation capability are positively related to knowledge transfer performance. When management involvement is higher, the positive relationship between subsidiary’s slack resource, absorptive capacity and knowledge transfer performance will be stronger. When tacit knowledge is transferred, the positive relationship between subsidiary’s exploration capability and knowledge transfer performance will be stronger. When explicit knowledge is transferred, the positive relationship between subsidiary’s exploitation capability and knowledge transfer performance will be stronger.
