| Abstract: | The transfer of knowledge in alliances carries risk to partners, whose willingness to accept it presumably relies on the trustworthiness that they perceive in their partners. This paper examines the extent to which the perceptions of trustworthiness and the willingness to take risk determine the transfer of knowledge between alliance partners and their ultimate impact on alliance success. The results reveal that the transfer of tacit versus explicit knowledge have very different trust and risk profiles. Explicit knowledge is closely associated with the firm's willingness to take risk and tacit knowledge is related to high trustworthiness. |
