Abstract:

The local buzz-global pipeline model in economic geography addresses how local firms - through a long-run and multi-scalar buzz and learning process- form key knowledge pipelines benefiting for internationalization and upgrading. However, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) who lack global experiences and capabilities face more risks to build up such pipelines. They get access to key knowledge for "going global" via alternative ways beyond the traditional buzz-global model. This paper focuses on the Zhejiang (China) and Schleswig-Holstein (Germany) partnership and explores the knowledge capture mechanism of Zhejiang's firms when "going out". Our results show: ①partnership institutions act as knowledge gatekeepers, providing firms both from Zhejiang and Schleswig-Holstein accurate, up-to-date and firm-specific tailor-made knowledge; ②international sister-region relations foster the formation of state-guaranteed "global buzz" spaces, enabling SMEs to capture key knowledge with the least input for constructing "social, organizational, cognitive proximity"; ③international sister-region relations build long-term global pipelines between the two regions, which lead to the generation of dynamic "buzz communities" geared to "tailor-made internationalization". This study highlights that international sister-region relations are important public platforms which play a key role in the construction of global pipelines among distant SMEs. The "global buzz-global pipeline" model of firm knowledge capture indeed provides a complementary conceptual account to the traditional local buzz-global pipeline model.

摘要:

经济地理学中的“本地蜂鸣-全球管道”模型解释了本地企业如何通过长期互动学习,逐步形成有利于企业全球化的重要知识俘获渠道。中小企业因自身能力和国际化经验的缺乏,往往会规避时间成本和风险,另辟蹊径地实施国际化战略。本文以浙江省和德国石荷州国际友好关系为例,通过田野调查和对利益相关人的深度访谈,对该关系框架下浙江中小企业“走出去”过程中的知识俘获机制进行分析。结果显示:①国际区域友好相关机构扮演着“知识守门员”角色,为双边中小型企业的全球化提供准确的、高效的和定制化的信息。②国际区域友好关系推动基于政府担保的、多方参与的“全球蜂鸣”空间形成,使得企业以较低成本获得社会、认知和组织临近,以此俘获“走出去”的关键知识;③国际区域友好关系为两地搭建一种新型的“全球管道”,有利于形成面向“精准全球化”的动态蜂鸣社群。本研究强调:地方政府主导的国际区域友好关系是中小企业“全球管道”构建的重要制度平台,这种“全球蜂鸣-全球管道”知识动态模式是对传统“本地蜂鸣-全球管道”概念的重要补充。
