Abstract

Limited resources, such as the knowledge and skills of employees, are one of the main problems faced by micro, small and medium enterprises (MSME). Based on the knowledge�based view (KBV), to overcome these problems, MSME can access external resources, such as knowledge transfer activities from universities through university-MSME partnership. Facing the digital transformation, the partnership development required to be redesigned to adapt to changes by considering internal aspects such as leadership, information, and communication technology (ICT), work environment, employee positive intention, and absorptive capacity. This paper discusses the proposed conceptual framework for knowledge transfer from university to MSME in the digital transformation era. The discussion includes a knowledge-based view as the theoretical basis to explain the motivation of university-MSME partnerships, how to design the partnerships in the digital transformation era, previous studies on knowledge transfer from university to MSME, and the development of propositions to explain internal aspects that affect the success of knowledge transfer activities. This paper is expected to contribute to the development of strategic management literature, especially related to the strategic alliance’s issue and provide insight and consideration for decision�makers in developing partnerships.
