| Abstract: | This study explores the effect of different contextual cues (here as: c-cs.) on the know-how transfer efforts reported by 79 biotechnology R&D scientists. Three types of c-cs. between the know-how source and recipient are studied: competitiveness, social relationship, and within or across firm boundaries. These cues are found to be associated, in the expected directions, with know-how transfer effort which supports a general theory of reciprocity whereby social, competitive, and firm boundary cues have a summative effect on the expectation of reciprocity and know-how transfer. |
