Globalisation makes our world appear smaller: it is easier to connect, communicate and do business with people all over the world. But cultural differences remain and challenge globalized knowledge communication and transfer. This book examines cross-cultural management within multinational enterprises (MNEs), focusing in particular on how cultural differences influence the transfer of knowledge between different units within individual corporations. Based on detailed empirical analysis of 267 companies in Germany and Japan, it considers the relative effectiveness of inter-cultural and intra-cultural knowledge transfer; identifies the factors that inhibit or facilitate successful knowledge transfer; and suggests how management processes of MNEs can be improved. It demonstrates that although cultural differences do not necessarily influence the selection and transmission of knowledge overseas, they do have a strong impact on how that knowledge is received, integrated and put into practice locally. The book shows how knowledge is accepted differently in Europe and Asia and which factors have the strongest impact on efficient knowledge transfer. It suggests that to improve cross-cultural management MNEs should focus less on upgrading the technology that allows knowledge transfer, and more on the capabilities and beliefs of individual employees.

The case, set in 2014, traces the history of the internationalisation process at Embal Inc. (hereafter Embal). In the previous decades, Embal experienced rapid growth and became a very successful player in the global market for packaging and bottling machinery. The companys stunning gain in market share in that sector was enabled by rapid internationalisation. Embal established three representative offices and several subsidiaries worldwide. Its rising profits indicated that the decision to internationalise had been successful. Lately, however, tensions have emerged in the relationship between headquarters (HQ) and the subsidiaries. In particular, the strategy for knowledge management initially adopted by Embal turned out to be inadequate to deal with a growing international network of subunits. The information management system used in Embal prioritised control over information sharing at several levels. Moreover, information exchanges between the subsidiaries were severely restrained. Several events unfolded to reveal the systems limitations. By 2014, the company seemed to be stuck between a rock and a hard place, unable to balance the benefits of efficiency and coordination with the risks of losing control over sensitive data and information. Brothers Luca, Giovanni, and Matteo Bianchi, the family that led Embal, needed to identify what information to share, how much should be shared, and how freely and in what way the information should be allowed to flow, both between HQ and the foreign subsidiaries and among the units. The mechanisms of knowledge transfer that were potentially available (e.g., informal meetings, communities of practice, wiki platforms, and on-line learning) had advantages and disadvantages to weigh, not only in terms of their economic and financial aspects, but also their emotional bearing on the family business owners.

Cross-cultural knowledge management, an elusive yet consequential phenomenon, is becoming an increasingly essential factor in organizational practice and policy in the era of globalization. In order to overcome culturally shaped blind spots in conducting research in different settings, this volume highlights how the structuring of roles, interests, and power among different organizational elements, such as teams, departments, and management hierarchies (each comprised of members from different intellectual and professional backgrounds), generates various paradoxes and tensions that bring into play a set of dynamics that have an impact on learning processes. In this context, such questions often arise: How is knowledge shared in the multicultural organization? What problems and issues emerge? How do different mentalities affect people’s responses to new knowledge and new ideas? How can knowledge-sharing processes be improved? Under which conditions do ideas generated by units or groups of different cultural traditions have a chance of being heard and implemented? Such questions translate into an investigation of potential managerial dilemmas that occur when different but equally valid choices create tensions in decision making. The authors draw from experiences working with a wide variety of organizations, and insights from such fields as sociology and psychology, to shed new light on the dynamics of knowledge management in the multicultural enterprise. In so doing, they help to identify both obstacles to successful communication and opportunities to inspire creativity and foster collaboration. The authors note that in order to enable organizations to transfer knowledge effectively, mechanisms for dispute settlement, mediation of cultural conflict, and enforcing agreements need to be in place.

This book shifts the debate on knowledge transfers within multinational corporations (MNCs) back to its core: How can we increase the effectiveness of cross-boarder transfers of knowledge? Several perspectives on international knowledge flows, from control issues to cultural barriers, are integrated into a comprehensive framework. Based on a sample of leading MNCs, empirical results show which managerial mechanisms have to be implemented to increase the benefit from knowledge transfers in headquarters and subsidiaries.

知識轉移已經在國際商務、知識管理等學術領域受到持續不斷的關注。本書從2000～2014年刊載的國際經營管理學術期刊論文中，總結出與知識轉移有關的核心因素；並結合知識轉移分析框架(KTA)，設計出“雙缺口模型”(Twogap Model)。然後通過對位於湖北省武漢市的100多家跨國公司進行問卷調查開展層次回歸分析，進而得出結論：海外子公司的吸收能力、共同願景、信任和團隊合作對縮小跨國公司和海外子公司之間的知識缺口有積極的影響，而語言障礙對此有消極的影響。

Despite a shared interest in the analysis of complex organizations operating in complex environments, macro-organization theory and research on the multinational corporation have developed quite independently of each other. This book, the product of a collaborative endeavour by scholars from both fields, represents the first systematic effort to build a broad bridge between these two areas of research.
