【 摘 要 】

Employing both a correlational and a configurational framework, this study proposes that engagement in business simulations, working environment culture, and acquired knowledge on business simulations are forerunners of sustainable knowledge transfer from business schools to organizations through business simulations training. Using a sample of 120 graduates from a Romanian business school, the results from configurational framework (based on regression analyses) reveal that knowledge transfer is explained by engagement in business simulations and working environment culture. However, findings highlight no correlation between acquired knowledge through business simulations and knowledge transfer. We have also employed fsQCA (fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis), which reveals that engagement in business simulations, working environment culture, and acquired knowledge on business simulations are adequate conditions for knowledge transfer. This study sheds light on a new research avenue of knowledge transfer from business schools to industry, less investigated by prior research.
