This paper investigates the joint effect of ownership type and knowledge transfer on success of change. For knowledge transfer, we include transfer of both tacit and codified knowledge, and for ownership type, we consider state owned, privately founded, and privatized firms. We argue that incentives and monitoring mechanisms will cause a given ownership type to moderate the direct effect of knowledge transfer on success of change. Using data from firms in four transition economy countries, we find that the relationship between knowledge transfer and success of change is stronger for state owned firms compared to privately founded and privatized firms.

所有权类型和知识转移如何影响变革的成功？转型经济企业研究

本文研究了所有权类型和知识转移对变革成功的共同影响。对于知识转移，我们包括隐性知识和固定化知识的转移，对于所有权类型，我们考虑国有，私有成立和私有化的公司。我们认为，激励和监督机制将导致给定的所有权类型减缓知识转移对变革成功的直接影响。使用来自四个转型经济国家的公司的数据，我们发现，与私有企业和私有化企业相比，国有企业的知识转移与变革成功之间的关系更强。
