Abstract
The chapter presents the materialization of knowledge transfer, strategy, dynamic environment and sustainable balanced scorecard performance. Focusing on the definition, description and the analysis of each concept, the respective numerical figures in the given tables disclose the mean, standard deviation, coefficient of variation, t-value which explains the significant differences and p-value which explains the level of significance. It explores the modes of knowledge transfer practiced by the Emerging, Multinational Enterprises (MNEs), the strategies adopted, the dynamic business environment and the sustainable performance adopted.
