“…These four components combine with and complement each other (Camis on & For es, 2010), providing a firm with the ability to reconfigure the knowledge base and its strategic capabilities to become more responsive, competitive and innovative (Fosfuri & Trib o, 2008) than competitors. Development of absorptive capacity by a receiver results in greater conformity and interest during a source's knowledge transfer, established when there is regular contact and mutual exchanges of information (Kuiken & van der Sijde, 2011). From frequent interactions come common languages, beliefs and values, created among those involved, reducing obstacles to knowledge absorption (P erez-Nordtvedt et al, 2008) due to a gradual increase in engagement when developing collaboration during knowledge acquisition (Szulanski et al, 2016).…”

Purpose This study aims to assess suppliers’ learning from knowledge transfers with a global truck manufacturer, considering both source and supplier capacity, and the cultural proximity between the parties. Design/methodology/approach A case study was conducted between two factories, one in Brazil and one in Germany. This study adopted a mixed-method sequential explanatory approach, which involves a quantitative phase followed by a qualitative one to provide a better understanding of the studied phenomenon. Quantitative data were collected from the automaker’s suppliers in both countries and analyzed using factor and inferential analyses. Qualitative data were obtained from the automaker’s purchasing executives, and from the company’s suppliers in both countries. Content analysis was used to analyze data. Findings Results suggest that both the source’s disseminative capacity and suppliers’ absorptive capacity had a positive effect on suppliers’ learning during knowledge transfers. The study also found out that cultural proximity among parties positively moderates the relationship between suppliers’ absorptive capacity and their learning. However, cultural proximity does not moderate the relationship between a source’s disseminative capacity and supplier learning. Practical implications This study’s findings are important to foster knowledge transfers by developing absorptive and disseminative capabilities in the automakers industry, in which the implementation of interorganizational learning is quite challenging due to the large number of strategic providers. Originality/value This study contributes to theoretical and conceptual consolidation of knowledge transfer, which includes cultural proximity among parties and the source’s and supplier’s disseminative and absorptive capacities, respectively. This study constructs and validates a model of knowledge transfer using a large automaker with a worldwide presence.

“…Posto isso, a proximidade atenua as possibilidades da receptora de, em algum momento da transferência, ignorar a fonte e preservar o orgulho de propriedade e status , como pode, também, mitigar prováveis mal-entendidos e ambiguidades, pois estando próximos, os descuidos podem ser solucionados por ajustes mútuos (Szulanski, 1996Kuiken & Van der Sijde, 2010). Minbaeva e Michailova (2004) (Szulanski, 1996Knigth & Liesh, 2002;Todorova & Durisin, 2007;Bjorkman, Stahl & Vaara, 2007) e, simultaneamente, é conferida a aceitação do conhecimento para ser internalizado em suas bases tácitas na forma de modelos mentais ou know-how técnico (Nonaka, et al, 2000).…”

“…Esses autores argumentam que é pela integração de uns com outros que se pode transcender para criar novos conhecimentos a partir daqueles adquiridos e transformados. Essa evolução contínua do conhecimento é resultante dos benefícios propiciados pela integração entre fonte e receptora que são, especialmente, a melhora na compreensão do conhecimento transferido (Reagan e McEvily, 2003;Cabrera & Cabrera, 2003;Kuiken e Van der Sijde, 2010, Tortoriello, Reagan e McEvily, 2012Yeh, Yeh & Chen, 2012), o compromisso entre as partes Nonaka et al, 2000;Reagan e McEvily, 2003), a confiança e a cooperação com o processo (Bjorkman, Stalh e Vaara , 2007;Van Wijk et al, 2008;.

Uma questão crítica no processo de transferência do conhecimento diz respeito aos seus resultados. Embora exista uma abundante discussão sobre a temática da transferência do conhecimento, ainda há pouca compreensão de como as organizações avaliam os resultados alcançados com esse processo. Partindo da premissa de que, somente quando a firma receptora internaliza o conhecimento é que esse pode ser suficientemente recriado por ela e, em última instância, ser utilizado de forma exitosa. O objetivo desse artigo é propor um framework teórico para analisar a efetividade em resultados em transferência interfirmas, considerando a variável internalização como uma medida desse esforço (variável dependente) e, sobretudo, propor a inclusão da variável integração social como moderadora deste processo. Para tanto, desenvolveu-se uma ampla revisão da literatura sobre a temática que resultou na identificação de duas ariáveis que hipoteticamente influenciam a internalização, quais sejam: capacidade disseminativa e capacidade absortiva. Junta-se a isso, a proposição do papel moderador de uma terceira varável: a integração social entre as partes.

“…interaction. The former reflects as a knowledge transfer process in one-to-many pattern, and the latter expresses a two-way process, which promotes the knowledge communication and integration through the interaction between teachers and students (Kuiken & Peter, 2011). According to the responses from interviewees, knowledge transfer behaviors directly affect their learning willingness and the difficulties in absorbing knowledge, and thus have important impacts on teaching effects.…”

Teaching effect is a core index for measuring the validity of teaching practices in universities. How to improve it in class? It is an important issue in educational reform. From students’ cognition perspective, the study analyzed students’ statements about the knowledge, personalities and behaviour of their teachers. Through the process of text analysis, the study summarized the common elements of teachers’ knowledge and personality as well as their impacts on teaching effects. A new theory, i.e. Intellectual Management for University Teacher (IMUT), was constructed. Results show that: At first, university students can definitely cognize and appraise their teachers’ knowledge and personalities; Second, an effective combination of knowledge and personality decides one teacher’s teaching effect, and; Finally, according to the feedback of students, the elements of teacher’s knowledge should include knowledge level and knowledge behaviour, and the elements of teacher’s personality could be summarized as personality trait and personalized behaviour. In order to improve teaching effects, university teachers are suggested to implement intellectual management, for realizing intellectual beauty through building a syncretic system which helps to develop knowledge and personality together.
