The results of this study support the thesis that reputation plays a role in the decision to share technological knowledge. Among R&D scientists in the pharmaceutical industry it was observed that past behavior and expected action were considerations in making the decision to provide scientific know-how to a fellow R&D employee in the firm. This research corroborates and clarifies social exchange theory regarding the role of social factors in the exchange of intangible resources.
