- Abstract
The purpose of this article is to provide a complementary approach of knowledge value chain management and the organizational chain of knowledge within strategic alliances. This paper explains a synthetic approach to integrated models of the knowledge value chain in strategic alliances. It combines the knowledge value chain, an enterprise value chain, and a knowledge chain. There is a large body of literature focusing on the crucial role and importance of knowledge management and the issue of its transfer between companies in the effective management. However, publications showing the model of knowledge transfer within cooperation, as well as focusing on the determinants of efficient flow of knowledge are rare. This article presents the characteristics of key aspects of knowledge management in a strategic alliance in the context of value chains of partner companies, as well as knowledge chains and knowledge value chains. On the basis of data retrieved from various sources, a model of knowledge transfer between companies in strategic alliance is proposed. An important finding is that integration of the value chain, knowledge chains and knowledge value chains of enterprises increase the efficiency of knowledge transfer. Moreover, key factors that determine the companies mutual learning process in alliances have been identified. The approach proposed is potentially an effective strategic method for creating superior value and knowledge-based competitive advantage in alliances.
