Summary

This volume is the imaginative outcome of several international strategy scholars who have cultivated original research on the broad relationship between strategic capabilities and knowledge transfer at both intra- and inter-organizational levels.

This innovative book explores, in depth, the role that strategic capabilities play in facilitating or preventing knowledge transfer in both firm and interfirm environments. As regards the relationships between strategic capabilities and the transfer of knowledge, the research encompasses different levels of analysis (e.g., the firm, the interorganizational network, the industry), different theoretical lenses (e.g., the resource-based view, the knowledge-based view, the evolutionary perspective, transaction cost economics, the cognitive theory) and different methodological stances (conceptual, empirical, case based).

Strategic Capabilities and Knowledge Transfer Within and Between Organizations is an illuminating and cohesive book which will appeal to scholars and researchers of management and business strategy as well as practitioners such as managers and consultants.
