Abstract: | The study examines two dimensions of firms' foreign market entry strategy: mode of entry and formation of alliances. The authors propose a model that describes how host country-, home country- and industry specific factors affect foreign firms' decisions on how they enter the market and whether they will enter with a partner firm or not. The model also describes how operation-related factors, i.e., the location and the level of local government, affect these decisions. Hypotheses were tested using a longitudinal sample of 2998 foreign business activities in China 1979-1993. Their sample consists of foreign investing firms from the U.S., Europe, Japan, and other Asian countries. |
