The Empirical Research on Knowledge Diffusion Mechanisms in Global Production Networks

Knowledge diffusion mechanism in the global production networks(GPNs) is a model for the dissemination of knowledge in the networks. With such backgrounds, based on 143 samples of Chinese manufacturing firms, it carries out the empirical research on Knowledge Diffusion Mechanisms in Global Produc-tion Networks, and the results show that: those firms which embedded in GPNs should be familiar with knowledge diffu-sion model and channels in GPNs as soon as possible, so they can get much knowledge from GPNs
