Subsidiary''s business innovation and resource dependence: The internationalization mode of Taiwanese firms FDI into China and Southeast Asia / 海外子公司的經營創新與資源依賴-臺灣廠商赴中國大陸與東南亞地區投資的國際化模式

博士 / 國立臺灣大學 / 國際企業學研究所 / 95 / This paper discusses the global strategy of multinational companies(MNCs) in the newly-industrialized countries(NICs) and their internationalization mode when the firms implement foreign direct investment(FDI). According to the data of 138 Taiwan firms FDI into China and Southeast Asia, the result finds the international firms can be classified into four modes by two dimensions of global strategy(2 × 2), that is “HQ-Sub manufacturing isomorphism(HSI)” and “local resource dependence(LRD)”. The former represents that a subsidiary develops different business from its HQ activities(business innovation) and the later shows the subsidiary concerns about local resource(resource dependence).
The four modes are transferring-learning MNC(low HSI and LRD), completely isomorphism MNC(high HSI and low LRD), adapted isomorphism MNC(high HSI and LRD), and adapted innovation MNC(low HSI and high LRD) and they have different attributes, especially firm capability and business performance. The empirical result also shows: (1) HSI has the significantly negative effects on a firm’s capability and performance, (2) LRD has the significantly positive effects on a firm’s capability and performance, (3) a firm’s HSI is gradually decreasing across year and its LRD will be increasing in the future, and (4) Taiwan firms’ internationalization modes are trending towards the adapted innovation MNCs.
