英文文献摘要：
Despite the strategic importance of the knowledge outflows from FDI for local firms’ competitiveness, no study has focused on the speed at which this phenomenon takes place. However, this issue is crucial since the speed at which firms absorb external knowledge influences the time they need to carry out subsequent innovations, their ability to adapt to external changes and enter new markets, thus ultimately affecting their chances to achieve a competitive advantage. This paper tries to fill this gap, by investigating the temporal patterns of knowledge outflows between foreign subsidiaries and firms located in host-regions. Combining International Business literature with insights on Innovation Strategy, we provide evidence on the timing of this phenomenon, and discuss the role played by multinational firms’ technology sourcing strategies.

尽管外国直接投资的知识外流对当地企业的竞争力具有战略重要性，但没有研究关注这一现象发生的速度。但是，这个问题是至关重要的，因为企业吸收外部知识的速度影响到它们进行后续创新所需的时间，影响到它们适应外部变化和进入新市场的能力，从而最终影响到它们取得竞争优势的机会。本文试图通过研究外国子公司和位于东道国的企业之间的知识外流的时间模式来填补这一空白。结合国际商务文献和创新战略的见解，我们提供了这一现象出现的时机证据，并讨论了跨国公司的技术采购战略所扮演的角色。
