摘要
中国企业的国际化现象引发了多个领域学者的广泛关注,但目前该领域研究内容呈现发散状态,仍处于理论构建的早期阶段。通过对310篇中英文文献的详细回顾,本文从国际化动因、战略和结果三个方面,全面和深入地分析了中国企业国际化研究的现状。在此基础上,本文提出了中国企业国际化研究的分析框架,同时依据现有文献的不足,提出未来的研究应进一步关注正式制度和文化在该主题研究中的重要作用,并重点阐述了"一带一路"倡议、中国文化海外传播、中国与东道国之间的文化纽带,中国国内区域之间正式制度和文化差异对中国企业国际化的影响,企业社会责任和政治战略,企业国际化的社会绩效,以及中国企业国际化面临的新挑战和新机遇等,将其作为未来研究的重要选题,以推动中国企业国际化研究的理论建构。
The internationalization of Chinese enterprises(ICE)has become increasingly important and attracted growing interest from scholars in multiple fields.Extant studies in this field are at the early stage and conducted on a piecemeal basis.With an aim to better understand the ICE and promote the future research,this paper synthesized the current conceptual developments and the diverse empirical findings.The paper determined the scope of journals and collected literature based on the following methodologies.For English literature,the top journals in management and international business fields were firstly selected,supplemented by others in the previous similar studies.Then,we searched the EBSCO Business Source Complete database for academic articles containing the term international expansion,cross-border mergers and acquisitions,greenfield investment,outbound investment,internationalization and so on.For Chinese literature,we searched the CNKI database for academic papers published in CSSCI journals with the same terms.As a result,a total of 310 articles on the internationalization of Chinese enterprises were finally included in the review framework.In order to understand the current situation of internationalization research of Chinese enterprises in a deeper way,the paper respectively reviewed the motivation,internationalization strategy and the outcomes of ICE.The paper first analyzed the literature on the motivation of the internationalization of Chinese enterprises,which was the most popular topic in the academic community.Researchers conducted corresponding studies mainly focused on natural resource seeking,market seeking,efficiency seeking,strategic assets seeking and home country institution.Second,the paper reviewed the literature on the internationalization strategy of Chinese companies from location selection,entry mode,establish mode,inward internationalization.In the research on the enterprises’internationalization location selection,scholars mainly focused on the influence of the host country’s institutional environment,political risks,cultural distance and enterprise-level characteristics.The host country entry mode strategy mainly includes joint venture and wholly-owned entry.The host country establish mode strategy is related to the entry mode of direct investment,which mainly includes two strategies:M&A and greenfield investment.The relationship between enterprises internationalization and their economic performancewas the most popular topic in international business studies.Unfortunately,the academic community have not reached a consistent conclusion.Compared with the attention to economic performance,the researches on non-economic performance of enterprises were insufficient in the extant literature.Finally,the analysis revealed that research literature on the internationalization of Chinese enterprises is growing rapidly.The paper constructed a logical framework,and proposed that future research should pay more attention to institutions and culture factors in the internationalization of Chinese enterprises,such as"The Belt and Road",the overseas spread of Chinese culture,the cultural bonds between China and host country,the influence of institutional and cultural differences between China’s domestic regions on the internationalization of Chinese enterprises,the outcomes of the internationalization of Chinese enterprises,and the new challenges and opportunities for Chinese enterprises.The paper expected future research on these directions to promote the theoretical construction of the internationalization of Chinese enterprises research.
