| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺灣大學 === 國際企業學系 === 85 === This thesis attempts to explore the transfer and absorption
processes -the context of cross-border business operation of
technology / knowledge. The purpose of this thesis is to
explore how a firm transfers its technology and knowledge
systems from the headquater to the subsidiaries. Research issues
under this broad research inquiry include the nature of the
transfer process, the absorption and diffusion processes of
transferred knowledge as well as what contingent factors
affecting these processes are. While we recognize the
exploratory nature of this research issue, we adopt a
qualitative, multiple-case method and select three typical
electronic companies who currently setup production subsidiaries
in the sane area of mainland china as the scope of empirical
investigation. After an intensive field work on these three
companies, we epitomize two types of transfer mechanisms
(''''''''adaptive'''''''' and ''''''''participative'''''''') and three types of diffusion
mechanisms (''''''''marketing'''''''', ''''''''improving'''''''' and ''''''''modifying'''''''').
Furthermore, thOne is the pressure from the industry environment
and the other one is the philosophy of human resource management
of the company. Several propositions are furnished based on a
comprehensive justification on fieldwork observation. Finally,
practical suggestions concering cross-border management on
technology / knowledge transfer and absorption processes are
discussed.
