Informal Technology Transfer Between Firms (Classic Reprint): Cooperation Through Information Trading - Couverture souple
Synopsis
Informal information trading between firms can boost innovation and collaboration while risking leakage. This book explains how employees share technical know-how across company lines and when such exchanges serve a firm's interests. It draws on a detailed study of the U.S. specialty steel and mini-mill industry and shows how reciprocity, trust, and strategic context shape these informal transfers.
The work frames information transfer as either leakage or trading, then develops a model of when trading can be economically advantageous. It explains why firms might support informal exchanges, how costs and benefits are assessed, and what factors increase or reduce the likelihood of a transfer. The analysis highlights that informal trading can outperform formal transfer when transaction costs are high and when information provides incremental improvements rather than dramatic breakthroughs.
- How informal exchanges occur through personal networks and cross-firm contacts.
- Conditions under which information trading can improve a firm's competitive position.
- Factors that influence a transfer decision, such as perceived strategic value and available alternatives.
- Practical implications for managing boundaries, incentives, and decision-making in technical teams.
Ideal for readers interested in how firms balance openness and protection to foster innovation and maintain competitive edges.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the fascinating phenomenon of informal information trading between employees of competing firms, a practice that challenges traditional views on firm boundaries. The author argues that this exchange of technical advice and expertise is not a detriment to firms but rather an economically motivated strategy. Employees are found to trade information selectively, considering factors such as the competitive advantage it offers, the availability of alternative sources, and the potential for reciprocity. The book's analysis reveals that firms promoting information trading can reap significant benefits, including improved innovation and economic performance. This insightful study sheds new light on the dynamics of knowledge sharing and the permeability of organizational boundaries, offering valuable insights for managers seeking to harness the power of informal information exchange.
