Abstract:
|
The purpose of the paper is to determine and empirically examine the effect of human resource
management practices on knowledge transfer within multinational corporations. It is suggested that
the employment of human resource practices, which affect absorptive capacity of knowledge
receivers and support organizational learning environment, is positively related to the degree of
knowledge transfer to the subsidiary. Moreover, the higher degree of knowledge transfer is
expected when human resource management practices are applied as an integrated system of
interdependent practices. Hypotheses derived from these arguments are tested on the data from 92
subsidiaries of Danish multinational corporations located in 11 countries.
