关系网络在新企业生存和成长过程中至关重要,本文基于中国十几个城市新企业问卷调查和典型企业案例调研,考察政府和市场关系强度对新企业不同成长阶段绩效的影响作用。研究表明市场关系在新企业创建期和成长期对企业绩效均有积极影响,而政府关系在创建期对企业绩效没有显著影响,在成长期则有积极的作用。尽管在中国经济转型阶段中,政府关系与市场关系的网络结构依然存在,但市场关系在企业不同成长阶段发挥的作用较政府关系更为显著,企业家应以更务实的姿态开展市场经营活动。
The relationship network plays a vital role in the survival and growth of new enterprises. Based on the questionnaire surveys and the typical case study of the new enterprises in dozens of cities in China, this paper examines the impacts of the gov- ernment and market relationship strength on the performance of new enterprises in their different stages of development. The study shows that the market relationship has a positive impact on the performance of the new enterprises in the period of their establish- ment and growth whereas the government relationship has no significant impact on the performance of the new enterprises in the establishment stage, but has a positive impact in the growth period. This suggests that during the transition of China' s economy, although the structural network of the government relationship and the market relationship still exist, the market relationship plays more significant roles than the government relationship in different stages of the enterprise development, so the entrepreneurs should take up a more pragmatic attitude to carry out the market operations.
