Abstract With status improvement and role change of the subsidiary of host country, the reverse knowledge transfer from the subsidiary to parent company has gained more and more attention from scholars, but the existing literatures have not analyzed it from the perspective of institutional gap and lack the investigation with system dynamics method. In view of this, based on the institutional gap divided into institutional surplus and institutional deficit, according to the logic of legitimacy and efficiency, the paper adopts the system dynamics to construct the causal relationship model and system flow diagram about the effect of institutional surplus and institutional deficit on the reverse knowledge transfer of multinational company. Further, based on the equations designed, the paper conducts the simulation analysis on the system dynamics model, and adjusts the quantitative value of institutional surplus and institutional deficit to conduct the sensitivity analysis. The results show that institutional surplus and institutional deficit affect the reverse knowledge transfer of multinational company following the logic of legitimacy and efficiency respectively; the institutional surplus hinders the reverse knowledge transfer from the legitimacy-oriented subsidiary to parent company; the institutional deficit promotes the reverse knowledge transfer from the efficiency-oriented subsidiary to parent company. The research conclusions can make a theoretical contribution to the study of knowledge transfer on one hand, and can help multinational company formulate appropriate tactics to promote reverse knowledge transfer, then enhance its own innovation capability on the other hand.
