Gaining　knowledge　from　outside　of　the　enterprise　is　a　quick　way　to　innovate　and　gain　competitive　advantage　to　keep　pace　with　the　rapid　progress　of　science　and　technology.　Based　on　153　questionnaires　from　Chinese　high-tech　companies,　this　paper　examines　the　relationships　among　environmental　change,　enterprise　culture,　knowledge　management　capability　and　knowledge　transfer　performance.　The　paper　demonstrates　that　the　change　of　environment　has　a　positive　direct　impact　on　enterprise　culture,　and　enterprise　culture　has　a　positive　direct　impact　on　knowledge　management　capability.　However,　the　direct　effect　of　enterprise　culture　on　knowledge　transfer　performance　is　not　significant.　Further,　enterprise　culture　can　influence　knowledge　transfer　performance　indirectly　through　knowledge　management　capability.　©　2008　IEEE.
