Zusammenfassung
Forschungsergebnisse im Zusammenhang mit Wissenstransfer in Multinationalen Unternehmen (MNU) sind vielfältig (Subramanian/Venkatraman 2001, Foss/Pedersen 2002, Cho/Lee 2004, Jensen/Szulanski 2004, Harzing/Noorderhaven 2006). Es gibt jedoch wenige theoretische und noch weniger empirische Ansätze, diese Ergebnisse als Steuerungsmöglichkeit zwischen Konzernzentralen und Niederlassungen mit traditioneller MNU-Forschung in Bezug auf Strategie und Organisationsstruktur (Perlmutter 1969, Prahalad/Doz 1987, Bartlett/Ghoshal 1989, Roth et al. 1991) zu verbinden. Genau diese Lücke zu schließen, ist unser Ziel. Der Fokus liegt dabei auf der Verknüpfung von Wissensmanagement mit der Strategie und der Organisationsstruktur von Unternehmen und führt zu folgender Forschungsfrage: Wie beeinflussen Unterschiede hinsichtlich der Strategie und Organisationsstruktur den Wissenstransfer multinationaler Konzerne?
