碩士 === 國立中央大學 === 企業管理研究所 === 97 === Inter-organizational knowledge sharing has received increasing attention and been viewed as a strategic tactic ever since the relational view scholars introduced the new paradigm of relation-specific knowledge sharing. This study unravel the concept of buyer-supplier relationship specificity of knowledge sharing and propose two elements, namely interaction routines and relation-specific interpretation to embody this conduct. Furthermore, recognizing the uncontrollable nature of interfirm dependence structure and task interdependence, we take it as the given antecedent factor of relationship specificity of knowledge sharing and investigate into the interrelationships. We further provide empirical evidence that the leverage of relationship specificity of knowledge sharing would yield different knowledge sharing performance within divergent interfirm relationship settings as to offer academic researchers and practitioners important guidance on interfirm knowledge sharing.
