摘要

In order to analyze the determinants of knowledge inflows from overseas Subsidiaries to MNCs’ subsidiaries in China,this article constructs an integrated model of determinants from three levels,which are knowledge ontology factor,subsidiary’s own factor and relational factor between subsidiaries. This article puts forward theoretical hypotheses and selects some subsidiaries in China as samples to make empirical test. The results are proved that the competences of expatriate,socialization mechanisms and organizational distances between subsidiaries have direct effect on knowledge inflows from overseas Subsidiaries to MNCs’ subsidiaries in China.
