MANAGING INTER-ORGANIZATIONAL TRANSFER OF COMPETENCE: A CASE STUDY

Abstract

The inter-organizational transfer of competence is a subject that presents several interesting perspectives for research. This article proposes elements for defining a model for its analysis. The model is based on three main groups of constructs: transfer level and state of the knowledge transferred; objectives of the transfer; transfer mechanisms. Through the study of the method developed by Renault in Brazil in order to transfer logistical skills, capabilities and competencies to its local suppliers, the applicability of the model is assessed. The case study is also used to develop the model through three propositions.
