Business group attributes and internationalization strategy in China
نویسندگان
چکیده
Business groups play a critical role in the internationalization of Chinese firms, but empirical efforts on this topic are limited. This study aims to fill this gap by examining the impacts of group-specific attributes on the pursuit of different internationalization strategies. Our findings from 219 Chinese business group affiliates show that horizontal linkages among group affiliates are more positively related to asset-seeking internationalization, whereas vertical linkages are more positively related to market-seeking internationalization. We contribute to the literature by moving a step forward to examine if business group attributes are leveraged differentially in market-seeking and asset-seeking internationalization strategies.

To do this, two correlation coefficients of LIHFSs are defined, which needn't consider the length of elements in LIHFSs or the arrangement of their possible interval values. To addr...
