摘要
从组织间模仿视角出发,考察组织环境中的其他企业以往行为对企业区位选择的影响。基于中国企业对美国直接投资数据的实证研究发现,模仿是中国企业对美国直接投资区位选择的重要影响因素,企业的区位选择会受到同行业中国企业和其他行业中国企业以往选择的影响。并且,同行业企业的影响要大于其他行业企业,即企业更倾向于模仿与自身相似企业的行为。另外,环境不确定性程度也会对企业的模仿行为起到调节作用,环境不确定性的提升会增大其他企业以往行为对当前企业区位选择的影响。
Different from the previous research, this study investigates the impact of past behavior of peer firms around organizational environment on firm＇s location choice, from the perspective of inter-organizational imitation. Based on the data from Chinese FDI toward the US, it is found that imitation is an important factor in explaining firm＇s location choice of Chinese FDI toward the US, that is, firm＇s location choice can be impacted by past behavior of peer chinese firms in the same or different industries. In addition, peer firms in the same industry have a greater effect than those in different industry, which means that firms tend to imitate the behavior of the firms that similar to themselves. Furthermore, environmental uncertainty can play a moderating role on imitative behavior. When there is great environmental uncertainty, it strengthens the positive impact of past behavior of other firms on location choice of current firm.
