Decisions regarding exploration and exploitation are strategically important to Chinese new ventures. Most previous studies have tended to study these two processes in isolation rather than jointly despite the obvious symbiosis between them, not to mention that even less attention has been paid to identify how contextual factors influence how these two processes are managed and controlled. / In conclusion, the evidence noticeably refutes the static or fragmented perspectives on exploration and exploitation, strong and weak ties, and incremental and radical CE and demonstrates that a system dynamics model linking them is warranted. / Study 1 involved system dynamics modeling based on case studies. The findings were as follows: first, performance gap is positively related to exploration and negatively related to exploitation during the early, middle, and late stages of organizational development; exploration is positively related to total knowledge stock and total knowledge stock in turn is positively related to exploitation in the early stage; and exploitation is negatively related to firm-specific uncertainty and firm-specific uncertainty in turn is positively related to performance gap in both the early half of the middle and the late stages. Second, strong ties facilitate exploitation and weak ties facilitate exploration during the early, middle, and late stages; also, firm-specific uncertainty is positively related to weak ties and negatively related to strong ties in the early stage and in the early half of both the middle and the late stages. Third, radical CE directs exploration and incremental CE directs exploitation in the early stage; and total knowledge stock facilitates both incremental and radical CE during the early, middle, and late stages. / Study 2 involved structural equation modeling based on a large sample of new ventures. The findings were as follows: first, most of the recursive positive relationships in Study 1 were supported in the total sample. Second, for three sub-samples of new ventures during different development stages, only the recursive positive relationships between radical CE and exploration and between incremental CE and exploitation were supported among all the three sub-samples, which was not consistent with the findings in Study 1. Third, the change patterns of the significant relationships in different samples were generally consistent with those findings in Study 1. / This thesis develops a system dynamics model of exploration and exploitation. The main propositions are that exploration is dynamically linked with exploitation and social network and corporate entrepreneurship systematically influence the dynamic relationship. Two studies, one qualitative and one quantitative, were conducted in the empirical setting of Chinese new ventures. Generally, supporting evidence was found for the main hypotheses. / Jiang Chunyan. / "February 2006." / Adviser: Shige Makino. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 67-11, Section: A, page: 4248. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--Chinese University of Hong Kong, 2006. / Includes bibliographical references (p. 156-171). / Electronic reproduction.

Despite the increasing significance of Chinese family businesses (CFBs) as an important sector in China??s fast-growing economy, family businesses in China have received little research attention in the literature. The aims of this study are two-fold. First, the study examines the current human resource management (HRM) practices of selected family businesses in the country in areas of recruitment and selection, training and development, performance appraisal, and rewards. Second, it investigates differences in HRM practices of CFBs between the eastern-coastal and inland regions of the country. From a questionnaire survey of 205 CFBs operating in seven cities in two regions, this study has found that CFBs combine their traditional informal, relationship-based HR practices with western-style HR practices. Furthermore, both univariate and multivariate analyses have demonstrated significant regional differences in HRM, thus supporting the argument that a firm??s HR practices are shaped by institutions in which the firm operates. The findings of this study make important contributions to both research and practice. First, the findings have provided further evidence to the applicability of institutional theory to the explanation of HRM practices. Second, the study has also provided some practical implications for HR managers of firms, both domestic and foreign, in China. However, results of this study need to be interpreted with caution because external validity is sacrificed to an extent given its focus on family businesses, a non-probability sampling method and relatively small sample size. In addition, the cross-sectional approach adopted in the study fails to identify changes in HRM over time. Despite the limitations, however, this study has contributed to the body of knowledge by enhancing our understanding of CFBs in China and their HRM that have been under-researched empirically.

Hong Kong has long been regarded as a global city and the regional service provider in the Greater Pearl River Delta (GPRD) region, with the provision of an opened and accountable economic and legal system, support of high-quality infrastructure and policies, and being the gateway to enter the Chinese market. This can be reflected by its consistently high score in different global competitiveness ranking index. A lot of Transnational Corporations (TNCs) are attracted by this reputable global city development of the city, establishing their headquarters and other tertiary services in Hong Kong. Other cities in the GPRD region tend to specialize in factory production with their comparative advantage in lower production cost in terms of labour, looser regulations and industrial agglomeration. The functional division in the GPRD region is well defined spatially which can be explained by the traditional "Front office, back factory" model. However, this settings has been changing as many PRD cities like Shenzhen, Guangzhou and Zhuhai have transformed their city's vision towards a global city currently. These cities have initiated economic restructuring and industrial upgrading towards modern servicing industries, and gradually force out the original factories and production base to less developed PRD cities or other locations beyond the GPRD region. New incentives are offered by the central and municipal government in attracting TNCs to invest in high value-added producer services, establishing Research and Development (R&D) base and headquarters in these PRD cities under urban entrepreneurialism. The dominant role of Hong Kong as a global city and regional service provider is challenged under rapid inter-city competition with these cities. This results in a new spatial dynamics and functional specialization settings for the GPRD region that cannot be explained by the traditional model. This study will examine the existing and potential role of global city development in Hong Kong and other PRD cities with reference to the investment choices of TNCs in the GPRD region. Through a comparative analysis with Guangzhou, the major strengths, weaknesses, and other factors required for global city development of Hong Kong and PRD cities will be identified. In addition, the latest locational settings of different functions will be explored in the case study analysis of TNCs in modern servicing and financing industry, manufacturing industry, and information and high-tech industry. The analysis will assist in identifying potential development opportunities, weaknesses of Hong Kong and PRD cities in attracting further investments from TNCs. Recommendations will be offered at the end of the study to enhance the overall competitiveness of Hong Kong and the GPRD region, through "co-opetition" incentives, fostering the development of GPRD mega-city region under the network city concept, and formulating an updated version of "Front office, back factory" model. / published_or_final_version / Urban Planning and Design / Master / Master of Science in Urban Planning
