Abstract
Based on the theory of acoustic waves, a circular surface radiator model is introduced as a basis for constructing a knowledge transfer model for a knowledge alliance. The three main variables in the model are chosen to be the number of enterprises in knowledge alliance, the frequency of knowledge transfer, and the relationship distances between the knowledge bodies. The internal mechanism of knowledge transfer in a knowledge alliance is studied, and the direct relationships among the internal influencing factors are explored. The results show that the number of enterprises in knowledge alliance, knowledge transfer frequency, and knowledge transfer effect are positively correlated. The “Rayleigh distance” in the knowledge field is the appropriate relationship distance measure for assessing knowledge transfer within the alliance. The Rayleigh distance is highly correlated with the number of enterprises in knowledge alliance and knowledge transfer frequency. Moreover, the number of enterprises in knowledge alliance and knowledge transfer frequency are interrelated.
Highlights
With the advent of the knowledge economy era, knowledge resources have replaced traditional resources such as capital and land as the most valuable strategic resources for enterprises. rough the absorption and application of knowledge resources, enterprises can produce new products on the basis of newly developed technologies to ensure core competitiveness
We find that the vicinity of the knowledge Rayleigh distance is a region with a good knowledge transfer effect and that the knowledge field can be divided into a near-field region and a far-field region based on the knowledge Rayleigh distance. e knowledge transfer process follows different rules in the near field and the far field
The theory of acoustic wave transfer is introduced, the circular knowledge radiator model is introduced as a model of knowledge transfer in a knowledge alliance, and the relationships among the factors affecting knowledge transfer are studied
Summary
With the advent of the knowledge economy era, knowledge resources have replaced traditional resources such as capital and land as the most valuable strategic resources for enterprises. rough the absorption and application of knowledge resources, enterprises can produce new products on the basis of newly developed technologies to ensure core competitiveness. A knowledge alliance is an effective way for enterprises to cultivate core competence Such an alliance has the characteristics of spreading and creating knowledge, attracting wide participation, engendering close relationships among members, and fostering complementarity [8]. In the process of establishing knowledge alliances to acquire knowledge to enhance core competitiveness, there are many factors that affect knowledge transfer both inside and outside an organization. The current research has not paid sufficient attention to the influence of the number of enterprises within a knowledge alliance, and models are unlikely to consider multiple directions and angles in the process of knowledge transfer. E number of enterprises in knowledge alliance is the representation of the transfer subject dimension Factors such as the amount of knowledge in the alliance, the level of knowledge recognition, and the complexity of the alliance relationship are all related to it. Besides the similarity between the research subject and the metaphorical model, the similarity between the metaphorical variables and the variables in the model should be guaranteed. e size of sound source, the frequency of sound emission, and the distance are, respectively, metaphorized as the number of enterprises in the knowledge alliance, the frequency of knowledge transfer, and the distance of relationship, which is reasonable in physical hypothesis and metaphorical logic
