Absorptive capacity, resources and alliances: Does technology transfer lead to enhanced manufacturing performance?
This study investigates the performance of Malaysian manufacturers based on strategic technology alliances formed with other organisations and the mediating effect of technology transfer. Data were collected from 335 firms and analysed using structural equation modelling. Our findings indicate that...
