国内资源的限制、市场竞争压力的加剧以及有效学习机会的缺乏等因素促使很多中国企业开始采取对外直接投资的“走出去”战略(OFDI),但OFDI的实施过程非常复杂且存在高度的不确定性。通过OFDI能否改进组织的生存能力以及在什么条件下有助于组织生存?这是一个仍旧没有解决的重要问题。本文基于中国上市公司的数据,主要得出以下结论:(1)企业可以运用实物期权规避风险,通过OFDI对国内企业进行资源输送,从而有助于组织生存;(2)与国有企业相比,民营企业进行OFDI更有助于提高组织生存能力;(3)与CEO非二元性相比,企业在CEO二元性的状态下采取OFDI会降低组织的生存能力。本文的研究为更好地理解OFDI的作用机制提供了理论和实证的解释,也为“走出去”战略提供了支持。
Such factors as limits of domestic resources, the increase in market competition pressure and lack of effective opportunity to study, urge a lot of Chinese firms to begin to take the "going-out" strategy, namely OFDI. But the implementation of OFDI is very com- plex and has a high-degree uncertainty. It is still a pending and important question whether OFDI could improve organization survival,or how to improve. This paper comes to the con- clusions as follows through the data of Chinese listed firms: firstly, OFDI is helpful for or- ganization survival to avoid risks by property options and deliver the resources to domestic companies~ secondly, OFDI will improve organization survival for private firms more effec- tively than state-owned firms; thirdly, compared to CEO non-duality, OFDI will reduce or- ganization survival in CEO duality. This paper helps to better understand the mechanism of OFDI by the theoretical and empirical explanation,and provides the support for "going-out" strategy.
