近來全球化正迅速重新編織世界的版圖，然而國際市場的挑戰是相當複雜且易變的。因此，企業若欲發揮組織整體營運效能，無可避免必須將具有競爭優勢的知識移轉至海外子公司。本研究藉由母子公司互動的角度來探討知識移轉的過程對於子公司的績效影響性為何。本研究以在台企業的子公司為分析對象，共回收有效樣本85份。從研究結果中發現子公司績效初期需要依賴母公司所給予的內部支援，但發展到後期時，發現母公司所給予的資源與知識並無法完全適用於子公司，因此證明出母子公司間知識移轉將對子公司績效是呈現倒U型的情況。在干擾效果方面，國家文化並沒有顯著的效果。而母子公司間地理距離越小，則母子公司間互動關係越高，越會增強母子公司間知識移轉與子公司績效之間的關係。此外當子公司策略角色越重要時，會減弱母子公司間知識移轉與子公司績效的正向關係。

This study focuses on the effect of knowledge transfer between headquarters and subsidiary. As the knowledge flow in the intra-network, it also promotes the subsidiary performance. This study use questionnaires and we collect 85 valid samples. The results found out that there is an inverted V-shape relationship for the knowledge transfer and subsidiary performance. For the moderating effect, this study also suggested that geographical distance had moderating effect for the relationship between knowledge transfer and subsidiary performance. And the subsidiary role had a significant negative moderating effect. But the similarity of national culture had no effect for the moderating hypothesis.
