Abstract: In this study, we theoretically identify three dimensions of expatriate competenciesability, motivation, and opportunity seeking—for knowledge transfer. Integrating the ability-motivation-opportunity framework and the absorptive capacity perspective, we propose that expatriate competencies in knowledge transfer influence a subsidiary's performance through the knowledge received by the subsidiary, but tbat this indirect enect is stronger when subsidiary absorptive capacity is greater. We collected multisource, time-lagged data from 162 British subsidiaries of Taiwanese multinational nrms. The results support our hypotheses. Overall, we contribute to expatriation theory and research by revealing specinc expatriate competencies as well as identifying boundary conditions for successful expatriate knowledge transfer.

TL;DR: The authors argue that top decision makers who have high innovative cognitive style are more likely to reframe information, experiment with new problem-solving approaches, and take risks by violating norms, and argue that these attributes may strengthen those dimensions of AC based on firms' acquisition of new knowledge and the assimilation of knowledge throughout the firm.
