Abstract:

As transnational channels for knowledge, OFDI corporations are capable of injecting the new blood to local enterprises in our country. This paper, from the perspective of knowledge potential, analyzes the mechanism of knowledge sharing among OFDI corporations and local cluster enterprises. The paper studies the evolutionary game process of knowledge sharing and opportunistic behavior in two cases of positive and passive participation of intermediate knowledge potential actors. It is found that the evolutionary process of the system is an emergent property resulting from interactions among willingness of knowledge sharing, absorptive capacity, emphasis on intellectual property and potential risks of knowledge sharing, etc. Agents' participation in the intermediate knowledge potential will promote the equilibrium of both knowledge sharing, and prompt the diversification of system evolution at the same time. Finally, the effect of key factors on end state of system is tested through a canonical correlation analysis.
