The Role of Family Control On The Regionalization Progress of Internationalization:A Longitudinal Study of Family-owned Business Groups in Taiwan’s Food Industry. / 家族控制與海外擴張區域化之歷程關係-台灣食品家族集團企業的跨時分析

碩士 / 義守大學 / 管理研究所碩士班 / 96 / The expansion across-border strategy in business groups in Taiwan’s food industry is driven by the external factors, such as the maturity of the domestic market, the raising production cost et al., and the internal factor, such as the family control influence. From 1988 to 2004, the family-owned business groups in Taiwan’s food industry, such as the Uni-President Group, Dachan Great Wall Group, Sino-Japan International Group and the Vedan group, are characterized by the distinctive degree of expansion activities. The possible role of family control on the business group’s expansion across-border strategy is meaningful in its own right.
By utilized the over 10-years panel data analysis of the above four family-owned business groups in Taiwan’s food industry, this research tries to analyzes the possible role of family control on cross-border expansion strategy from the resource-based theory viewpoint. Specifically, this research will focus on investigating the possible relationship between the family control and the regionalization phenomenon, a hot issue in the international business filed. The result reveals that family control may restrict the expansion scope across-border in these four family-owned business groups. In other words, the higher the degree of family control, the more likely the family-owned business groups will be likely to engage in the regional markets, the China markets, and the Southern Asian markets. The findings in this research are meaningful for discussing the relationship between family control and the semiglobalization issues in family-owned business.
