研究发现，技术关联和社会互动都能促进两家企业之间的知识流动。我们以教育心理学的工作为基础，考虑学习的认知和社会方面如何可能是补偿性的。以礼来公司及其合作伙伴的61个联盟为样本，我们发现礼来公司及其合作伙伴之间的社会互动对合作伙伴学习的重要性随着技术相关性的增加而降低。同样，技术相关性对伙伴学习的重要性随着社会互动的增加而降低。本研究提供了技术相关性和社会互动对学习的重要性的细微差别。
Knowledge flow between two firms has been found to be enhanced by both technological relatedness and social interaction. We build on work in education psychology and consider how cognitive and social aspects of learning may be compensatory. Using a sample of 61 alliances involving Eli Lilly and its partners, we find the importance of social interaction between Lilly and its partner to partner learning decreased as their technological relatedness increased. Likewise, the importance of technological relatedness to partner learning decreased as social interaction increased. This study provides nuance on the criticality of technological relatedness and social interaction for learning.
