In the knowledge economy age, the capability of a business to gain advantage depends not only on tangible assets but also on intangible assets, such as the knowledge owned by the organization. Given the importance of knowledge, knowledge management has become a very important task for business to remain competitive. Many literatures in knowledge management have emphasized the key role of knowledge creation activities and their impact on organizational performance. In particular, they have focused on the effect of creativity. In the study, we extend previous framework to add organizational learning to enhance the existing model. An empirical study was conducted to examine the extended model. Major findings include the following: (1) Socialization, combination and internalization have positive impacts on both organizational creativity and organizational learning, but externalization does not. (2) Both organizational creativity and organizational learning have positive impacts on organizational performance. (3) The explicitness of knowledge has a moderating effect on the effect of socialization and organizational learning and on the effect of externalization and organizational learning. (4) The degree of organizational knowledge has a moderating effect on the effect of internalization and organizational creativity.

在這個知識經濟的時代，如何有效地吸收知識並將所吸收的知識加以移轉、應用，不同性質的知識該搭配哪些適當的移轉機制，其移轉效能是否更為顯著，這些都是台商在進行知識移轉所必須關切的重要議題。 本研究採實證研究方式除了探討知識特質、知識移轉機制與知識移轉效能關係之外，同時也加以探討知識教授者和接受者本身的因素對知識移轉機制與知識移轉績效之影響。 本研究採以問卷調查方式進行，以2002-2003電機電子業大陸及東南亞台商採購銷售名錄以及在經濟部登記已至中國大陸投資的廠商作為研究對象，有效樣本共112份。 研究發現以下四點：第一、在知識特性方面，當被移轉的知識愈是具有內隱性、複雜性的知識特性，母公司愈傾向選擇人員互動移轉機制具有顯著影響。第二、當知識特別具有複雜性時，採用人員互動移轉績效愈顯著。第三、教授者外派人員愈是具有經驗時，對於人員互動的移轉績效沒有顯著影響；至於教授者採取知識自我保護的態度，對於人員互動移轉績效愈差獲得支持。第四、當子公司管理階層的能力愈高時，人員互動移轉績效也愈好並不顯著；當子公司內部員工愈具產業經驗時，人員互動移轉績效也就較佳，此假設獲得支持；另外，在母子公司內部組織環境方面，當子公司的商業活動、組織制度、企業文化與母公司愈相似時，則母子公司彼此間的齊一性愈高，將有助於人員溝通、進行知識移轉和吸收，並未在實證中有顯著影響。
