The Effects of Market Competition Structure on the Knowledge Sharing Intentions of Enterprises with Knowledge Demand
From the knowledge-based resource perspective, and for enterprises with knowledge demand,strategic value exists in improving knowledge-sharing intentions and obtaining sufficient new knowledge.Thus, it is critical not only to discover the factors affecting knowledge-sharing intentions, but also to understand their effect mechanisms.This paper proposes a new factor—the structure of market competition—which includes three indicators: the initial market demand, market share, and added market demand.Further, the profit of knowledge-sharing can be considered a proxy for knowledge-sharing intention.An optimisation function is then constructed based on these indicators to analyse the effects, in which the profit of knowledge-sharing is the dependent variable and the three indicators are independent variables.The results indicate that there is an inverted U-shaped relationship between the knowledge-sharing intentions of enterprises with knowledge demand and initial market demand.Furthermore, a positive correlation exists between the enterprises intention and market share.Finally, a negative correlation exists between the enterprises intention and added market demand.
