Abstract

The main objective of this paper is to contribute to the existing Technology Transfer (TT)
literature by reviewing the evolution and development of the previous TT models which
include the traditional TT model, models developed after 1990s, other related theoretical
foundations underlying TT models, and the current TT models which have strong influence
of knowledge-based view (KBV) and organizational learning (OL) perspectives. Since the
current management researchers have a strong focus on TT within strategic alliance and
other collaborative ventures, this review highlights the significant influence of KBV and
OL perspectives on inter-firm TT models. This review attempts to help stimulate the
direction of both future theoretical and empirical studies on inter-firm technology transfer
specifically 1) on how KBV and OL perspectives could play significant role in explaining
the complex relationships between the supplier and recipient in inter-firm technology
transfer 2) the tradeoffs that involve between properties of technology, protecting
proprietary technologies, competitiveness of the supplier, willingness to transfer
technology, and learning attitudes of the recipient in strategic alliances and JVs, and 3) on
how KVB and OL perspectives could be integrated in a holistic model to explain the
relationships between knowledge transferred, the recipient, the supplier, relationship
characteristics and degree of technology transfer.
