Abstract: Abstract As technical standards are increasingly driving the market development, the competition among enterprises is shifting from the traditional product competition to the technical standard competition. The technology standard alliance is an important organizational form for enterprises to participate in the competition of technology standards. In fact, the process of developing and implementing standards is a process of knowledge collaboration. Does knowledge collaboration in the technology standard alliance have an impact on the benefits of standard implementation? What is the impact mechanism? Based on the comprehensive process of knowledge evolution, this study constructs a theoretical model of knowledge collaboration impacting on benefits of standard implementation and introduces strategic flexibility as the intermediary variable to explore the mechanism inside. As for methodology, 203 valid questionnaires filled by 124 enterprises are collected to acquire primary data, and then SPSS 21.0 and SmartPLS 3.0 are applied to build a PLS structural equation model to verify the path relationship between the variables. The results show that the absorption, integration, application, and innovation of enterprise knowledge have a direct impact on the benefits of standard implementation and verify the mediating effect of strategic flexibility in some certain phases of knowledge collaboration. In order to improve the benefits of standard implementation, enterprises should strengthen knowledge collaboration and accelerate the dissemination and diffusion of knowledge, and the government should optimize the governance of market-led standardization organizations and deepen standardization reform.
