东道国网络结构、位置嵌入与海外子公司网络学习——基于123家跨国公司在华子公司的实证

文章通过阐明网络位置对网络成员决策和资源获取的影响,提出了"位置嵌入"概念,由此把社会嵌入的"关系-结构"构成理论发展为"关系-位置-结构"构成理论。在此基础上,分析了海外子公司的东道国网络结构对网络学习效果的影响,以123家跨国公司在华子公司为样本,运用社会网络分析方法和结构方程模型进行实证检验,结果表明:(1)海外子公司东道国网络的关系嵌入强度对网络学习效果有显著的正向影响;(2)网络中心度对网络学习效果有显著的正向影响;(3)群体中心度对网络学习效果有显著的负向影响;(4)网络密度对网络学习效果有显著的正向影响。

Network Structure of Host Country,Locational Embeddedness and Network Learning of Overseas Subsidiaries:An Empirical Study based on 123 Subsidiaries in China

This paper proposes the concept of locational embeddedness by explaining the impacts of network location on the decision-making and resources acquisition of the network members,thus developing the composition of social embededdness from the relationship-structure theory to the relationship-location-structure theory.It then analyzes how the host county network structures of overseas subsidiaries influence the network learning.Sampling the 123 Chinese subsidiaries of the foreign companies,the empirical studie...
