本文以中关村科技园区的高科技企业为样本，采用知识基础理论和嵌入性理论，考察了中国本土企业对外资企业的反向知识溢出效应。它还调查了在外国公司工作的归国人员是否有助于弥合当地公司和外国公司之间的知识差距。研究结果表明，外籍CEO和外籍员工的存在增强了反向技术和营销溢出对外国企业创新和财务绩效的影响。这一研究结果对国际知识溢出的社会层面研究具有重要的理论和实践意义。
Adopting a knowledge-based perspective and embeddedness theory, this study examines the impact of reverse knowledge spillovers from local Chinese firms to foreign firms using a sample of high-tech firms in Zhongguancun Science Park in China. It also investigates whether returnees in foreign firms help bridge knowledge gaps between local firms and foreign firms. The results show that the presence of returnee CEOs and returnee employees enhances the impact of reverse technological and marketing spillovers on the innovation and financial performance of foreign firms. The findings call for more studies on the social dimensions of knowledge spillovers across international boundaries and have important theoretical and practical implications.
