FDI学派跨国并购理论范式研究

FDI学派跨国并购理论主要是从国际直接投资(FDI)角度,研究厂商跨国并购的根本原因与行为动机的理论学说,是西方企业并购理论的一个重要流派,基本按照产业组织思路与资源禀赋思路展开分析.20世纪60年代以来的FDI跨国并购理论的演化呈现出以下特征:在主导思想方面,新古典政治经济学取代了新古典经济学;在研究思路上,产业组织思路取代了要素禀赋思路;研究重心由新建FDI转向跨国并购FDI;研究视角由单一性理论研究转换成综合性理论研究.     

The transnational family: A typology and implications for work-family balance

In a growing number of families, members are dispersed across country borders, but maintain close ties. Despite their growing prevalence, an overarching theoretical framework to explain this phenomenon is absent and little is known about work-family experiences in this type of family. With this in mind, we provide a typology that can be applied to the transnational family as a theoretical lens through which diverse forms of transnational families can be understood. Next, we provide a definition of work-family balance (WFB) that considers unique aspects of transnational families while also drawing upon previous definitions of WFB developed in the domestic work-family literature. Finally, we discuss how WFB may differ depending on the characteristics of transnational families. We conclude by discussing implications and suggestions for future research.

中国100强企业成长性分析

本文以2007年中国100强企业为样本，通过5年的平均增长速度来分析他们的成长性。结果发现在过去的5年中大多数企业都能“稳步发展”或“茁壮成长”，但有一些企业成长不稳定，已经陷入了“前途叵测”或是“危机重重”的境地。因此，只有在扩张规模和增加效益之间取得平衡，企业才能实现可持续性发展。

Foreign Market Strategies of European and United States Transnational Management-Consulting Firms in South East Asia: The Case of Thailand

ABSTRACT

The share of transnational corporations' (TNCs) foreign investment in the global investment has increased over the years. In this context, the international activities of transnational service corporations (TSCs) have become an important topic of discussion for international managers, governments, researchers, and academics. An even greater expansion has taken place in the case of management consulting services. The core subject of this study are entry strategies and FDI motives observed among transnational management-consulting firms (TMCFs) from the United States, Europe and Asia operating in Thailand. A management interview approach was the major tool for data collection in this study. Eighteen foreign TMCFs operating in Thailand were the main source of primary research data, which were analysed both quantitatively and qualitatively. The results indicate that TMCFs prefer full-ownership participation as an entry mode into the Thai market. As to their FDI motives, the most important one identified is to exploit the existing market opportunities in host countries. Other important motives include: market expansion, exploitation of competitive advantage, and following the client's international involvement.

从创业导向到跨国创业导向:一个文献综述

中国企业的国际化战略,已逐渐聚焦于"在全球范围创造新的价值",其实质正是一种跨国创业行为,传统的围绕动机、阶段、模式展开的国际化理论已不足以解释及指导中国企业的国际化实践。本文从"创业导向的定义和维度"、创业导向维度和组织绩效的测度方法,创业导向与组织绩效的关系、"跨国创业导向"等四方面对国内外相关研究进行了综述。并指出现有跨国创业导向研究存在"套用封闭环境下的创业导向研究框架"、"未区分不同规模、不同发展阶段国际化企业的跨国创业导向差异"、"对时滞因素和前因变量等缺乏关注"等不足之处。
