Abstract

We investigate how international joint ventures (IJV s) established in emerging economies help their local suppliers with technological knowledge transfer. Data from 50 Pakistani‐owned T ier 1 suppliers, three of the major assemblers, and policy makers in the M inistry of I ndustries and P roduction in P akistan is collected. Findings suggest that, in the context of the P akistani emerging economy, IJV s can also play a critical role as the boundary spanners of knowledge transfer. Local suppliers are linked with their global suppliers' networks through associational learning. Social capital between the IJV s and the local component suppliers and the IJV s' willingness to initiate a knowledge transfer dialogue among local and global T ier 1 suppliers are critically important factors that enable this transfer.

Local firms are more likely to acquire technological know-how and develop new capabilities by participating in geographically dispersed rather than locally oriented networks.
“Similarly, Khan, Lew and Sinkovics's (2015) study of the Pakistani automotive industry shows that local firms are more likely to acquire technological know-how and develop new capabilities by participating in geographically dispersed rather than locally oriented networks.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
