Entry Mode Choice and Performance-Taiwanese manufacture firms / 海外投資進入模式選擇與績效之分析-台灣製造業為例

碩士 / 淡江大學 / 產業經濟學系博士班 / 96 / As the forces of globalization drive firm to expand outside their home market, a primary issue of concern is in establishing effective boundaries for the firm. Because of the entry mode choice besides the reflection management motive and the development course, also will havethe significant influence to the corporate investment achievements.
In this study, we add TC variables to a set of variables previously used to predict Taiwanese manufacture firms’ mode choice and performance .Firms choose strategies based on their attributes and industry conditions;therefore, strategy choice is endogenous and self-selected. Previous empirical models that do not account for this and regress performance measure on strategy choice variables are potentially misspecified and their conclusions are incorrect. We use Heckman’s two-stage method to correct this biased.
The finding reveal first the firm- and transaction-specific are strong influence of firms’ entry mode choice. Second, firms that use TC-enhanced selected mode choices perform better than firms that do not. Third, the significance of this effect that strategy on performance disappears once we account for self-selection of entry mode in the estimates.
