Abstract: | Based on the strategy tripod perspective, this study intends to examine the independent and joint effects of state ownership and firm size on Chinese firms’ choices between greenfield and acquisition, and between full and partial ownership. Using secondary data of a sample of 150 firms with 473 entries, we find that state ownership and firm size independently and jointly have impacts on entry mode choices. Our findings provide some support to the strategy tripod perspective, which treats institutions as independent variables and considers strategic choices as the outcome of the interactions between institutions and organizations. |
