1. The document discusses factors that influence knowledge transfer between organizations in alliances. It proposes that the determinants of inter-organizational learning differ based on the level of knowledge symmetry between partners and the type of organizational learning. 2. A general hypothesis is that knowledge transfer performance is influenced by relative absorptive capacity, knowledge ambiguity, cultural differences, knowledge protection, trust, and alliance structural features. 3. The author plans to test this hypothesis through a survey questionnaire to validate the results statistically and generalize across a population, though questionnaires have limitations like non-response bias.
