Small to medium enterprises (SMEs) are often marked by limited resources, a high dependence on others, and a scope of business that gets narrower as they seek to adapt to the current dynamic and knowledge-intensive context. Additionally, in their relationship with multinational enterprises (MNEs), SMEs are driven to a continuous specialization of their knowledge and technological resource bases. They so source global knowledge by positioning along a global value chain of those MNES. Especially SMEs employ a repositioning organizational knowledge dynamics by functional upgrading and downgrading strategy. In order to address the query on dynamic capabilities in knowledge management (KM) in different inter-organizational collaborations in the global value chain, this study shows that the choice between functional upgrading or downgrading can determine a more effective cross-innovation strategy which enables SMEs to exploit external paths to the market by revealing or selling their ideas, knowledge and technologies. Such strategies can reveal opportunities for SMEs to increase their network to find an optimum position in the market. SMEs, in turn, become more specialised in their offerings, moving up or down the global value chain, leveraging on a combination of dynamic and technological capabilities along with high degree of involvement in knowledge management process.

This scenario is investigated through the study of 532 European knowledge-intensive SMEs via structural equation modelling. Hence, results offer relevant implications for policy-makers and SMEs managers in better employing the organizational ambidexterity for the repositioning strategy in the global value chain.

通过全球价值链中的功能升级和降级策略重新定位组织知识动态

中小型企业(SME)通常具有以下特点:资源有限,对他人的高度依赖以及寻求适应当前动态和知识密集型环境的业务范围越来越狭窄。此外,在与跨国企业(MNEs)的关系中,中小企业被迫不断地对其知识和技术资源基础进行专业化。他们因此通过沿着这些MNES的全球价值链定位来获取全球知识。尤其是中小型企业通过功能升级和降级策略来采用重新定位的组织知识动态。为了解决对全球价值链中不同组织间协作中知识管理(KM)动态能力的查询,这项研究表明,在功能升级或降级之间进行选择可以确定更有效的交叉创新策略,使中小企业能够通过揭示或出售其思想,知识和技术来利用外部市场途径。这样的策略可以为中小型企业揭示扩大其网络以在市场上找到最佳位置的机会。反过来,中小企业将动态和技术能力相结合,并高度参与知识管理过程,从而在提供服务时更加专业化,在全球价值链中向上或向下移动。这样的策略可以为中小型企业揭示扩大其网络以在市场上找到最佳位置的机会。反过来,中小企业将动态和技术能力相结合,并高度参与知识管理过程,从而在提供服务时更加专业化,在全球价值链中向上或向下移动。这样的策略可以为中小型企业揭示增加其网络以在市场上找到最佳位置的机会。反过来,中小企业将动态和技术能力相结合,并高度参与知识管理过程,从而在提供服务时更加专业化,在全球价值链中向上或向下移动。

通过结构方程模型对532个欧洲知识密集型中小企业进行研究,对这种情况进行了调查。因此,结果为决策者和中小型企业管理者更好地利用组织的灵活性在全球价值链中的重新定位战略中提供了相关的含义。
