چکیده انگلیسی:
Building on the knowledge-based view of the firm, this study investigates the usefulness of two
organizational integration mechanisms (i.e., formal inter-unit communication and informal
connectedness and shared values) to effectively transfer knowledge between MNC units and ex-
plores how their effectiveness is affected by different dimensions of cross-national distance. Data
on 131 knowledge transfer relationships between units of five Spanish MNCs were used to test the
hypotheses. Results reveal that, although both mechanisms are positively associated with
knowledge transfer effectiveness, the effect of formal inter-unit communication is comparatively
higher. Moreover, this formal integration mechanism seems to work independently of the type of
distance that separates the units involved in the transfer. By contrast, the effectiveness of informal
integration mechanisms is influenced by economic, geographic and administrative dimensions of
distance. Adopting a contingent perspective, and taking into account the multidimensional
character of cross-national distance, this article contributes to the literature on knowledge
management in international firms by showing which organizational integration mechanisms are
more useful to transfer knowledge within MNCs depending on the type of distance that separate
their units.
