Abstract: In the course of knowledge transfer and globe learning of Multi-National Corporations(MNCs), it is found that two types of government relation co-exist between knowledge-sender and knowledge-receiver. An analysis on MNCs Chinese subsidiaries has been taken. There is a significant differentabout efficiency, secondarytransfer actions, and informal transfer actions between hierarchy and alliance. After comparing mean of efficiency, a conclusion, that hierarchy of inter-organizations within MNCs will promote knowledge transfer rather than alliance, can be got. Thus internalization theory of MNCs is proved in the field of knowledge transfer. . 22 Refs In Chinese
