Managerial Experience, Power and Strategy Learning across Enterprises
——An Analysis based on the Perspective of Knowledge Transfer

Abstract

Abstract: Executives′ experience and knowledge are the core resources for enterprises. Based on the perspective of knowledge transfer，the paper tests the effects of executive′s flow across enterprises on strategy learning between enterprises，as well as the moderating effect of the migrated executive′s power. The results of the research show that executive′s flow across enterprises is beneficial to strategy learning between enterprises, and the migrated executive′s power significantly moderates the relationship between managerial experience and strategy learning of the current enterprise.

Key words: managerial experience, managerial power, strategy learning
