摘　　要：母公司知识向海外子公司的成功转移是企业实行国际化经营的先决条件,然而,知识的跨国转移却是相当复杂和困难的。本文以在华韩资企业为对象,考察了跨国公司母公司向海外子公司知识转移的影响因素。研究结果表明,母子公司间的沟通频率和相互信任、海外子公司的吸收能力以及赋予海外子公司适当的经营自主权时,有效促进母公司向海外子公司的知识转移。Researchers in international business have long argued that multinational enterprises doing business abroad face costs arising from unfamiliarity of the environment, from political, economics, and cultural difference. In order to overcome liability of foreignness and compete successfully against local firms, multinational enterprises need to provide their subsidiary with some firm-specific advantage, often in the form of organizational and managerial knowledge. Yet, expei＇ience shows that transferring knowledge within multinational enterprise is far from easy. The notion that multinational enterprises exist primarily because of their superior ability to engage in internal knowledge transfer does not mean that such knowledge transfer actually take place effectively and efficiently on a routine basis. So, this has triggered a considerable amount of research on factors influencing inter-unit knowledge transfer patterns within the differentiated multinational enterprise. However, the previous literatures have three limitations. First, the previous studies more focus on the knowledge transfer between partners in the international joint venture or strategic alliance from the points of object of the knowledge transfer. Second, the previous studies more focus on overseas subunits operating in developed countries, and few efforts have been made to examine the determinants of knowledge transfer within multinational enterprise in transition economy. Three, with certain notable exceptions, domestic studies about knowledge transfer more focus on literature review or conceptual model design, and neglect empirical study. In this study, therefore, we developed an integrative framework to empirically explore the impact of the antecedents on the knowledge transfer in the context of Korean firms operating in china. In an empirical test of this framework, we found that because of the dependence of a subsidiary on the parent company, the knowledge transferring outcome is influenced not only by the factors related on the subsidiary
