碩士 / 國立屏東商業技術學院 / 經營管理研究所 / 98 / Foreign investment has become an important trend in the global economy. When numerous enterprises begin to set up subsidiaries in foreign countries, it is critical to investigate whether these companies constantly invest in these subsidiaries. However, little literature has been conducted in this field, and thus this study aims to explore the factors influencing the companies’ foreign commitments. Based on the resourced-based view, ownership advantages and location advantages perspectives, this research examine the effects of enterprise’s resources factor (local experience, R&D capability and marketing capability) and local environmental factors (local market potential and local investment risks) on foreign commitments.

This study utilities public traded companies of computer and peripheral equipment industry as the research target. The data contains 146 valid samples, which are collected from companies’ foreign investments to their subsidiaries in 2007. We utilize description analysis and multiple-regression analysis to investigate this topic.

The result indicates that: (1)The deeper the local experience of this subsidiary, the higher the foreign commitments have been invested to this subsidiary; (2)The R&D capability of this company has no effect on its foreign commitments; (3)The marketing capability of this company has no effect on its foreign commitments; (4)The higher the local market potential, the higher the foreign commitments of this company have been invested to this subsidiary; (5)The local investment risks do not affect the company’s foreign commitments. Finally, this research concludes with research, managerial implications and the research suggestions.
