| Abstract: | This article discusses how social exchange theory can help illuminate many of the underlying bases of different ethical perspectives in debates about social exchanges. Social exchange theory is applied to three common types of knowledge exchange - R&D joint ventures, commercial intellectual property exchange and academic exchange. It is shown that two key factors that underlie different ethical perspectives are differences in structures for social exchange and differences in views of the alienability of knowledge from its originator. |
