Özet
Emerging
market business groups (EMBGs) represent an interesting research context to analyse
the topic of “knowledge transfer” because of their potential of collaboration,
interaction and subsequent accumulation advantages. The current paper focuses
specifically of reverse knowledge transfer (RKT) dynamics in cross-border
acquisitions undertaken by EMBGs originating from Turkey. A key argument postulated in the current
paper relates to the fact that an acquisition undertaken EMBGs affiliate can
potentially have an influence on sister affiliates’ knowledge set and performance.
We further highlight the importance of Turkish business groups’ origin
(western/metropolitan vs. peripheral/Anatolian) in relation to RKT and its
potential influences on the performance of other affiliates. The empirical part
of the paper is currently in process.
