Relational Embeddedness, Resources Acquisition and OFDI Firms' International Performance

Abstract

Abstract:

This research focuses on relational embeddedness, resources acquisition and OFDI firms' international performance in China. Using survey data set of 116 OFDI firms in China, this study finds broad support for the proposed analytical framework of OFDI firms' international performance. The results show:relational embeddedness in foreign-owned enterprise network positively influence OFDI firms' resources acquisition, but relational embeddedness in foreign-owned enterprise network also mediates the positive impact of Chinese-owned network on resources acquisition. Both trust and information sharing of Chinese-owned enterprise network positively influence firms' survival performance, which is not significantly related to growth performance, and common problem-solving is positively related to the growth performance and survival performance. Trust, information sharing and common problem-solving of foreign-owned enterprise network positively influence firms' growth performance and survival performance. The results also suggest that resources acquisition plays a positive mediating role between relational embeddedness and OFDI firms' international performance.

Key words: OFDI firms, relational embeddedness, resources acquisition, international performance
