Abstract:
Much of the literature on small firm marketing has adopted the Western marketing paradigm. Though researchers such as Kindle (1982) and Waldie (1980) have pointed to the importance of using traditional cultural values in understanding Chinese marketing decisions, there is no major study of Chinese small firm marketing which adopts this approach. Siu and Kirby (1995) suggest an integrative approach — blending the process model and the contingency approach in building and advancing small firm marketing theory. Hence the marketing process model proposed by Brooksbank (1990) is adopted as the research framework for understanding the marketing activities of small firms in Hong Kong. Six broad areas relating to business philosophy, strategic analysis, marketing objectives, marketing strategy, marketing organization and marketing control are identified. The contingency model used by Brooksbank, Kirby and Wright (1992) is adopted to identify different types of performing companies. In addition, Yau's (1994) Chinese cultural value orientations are adopted to explain the likely Chinese cultural influences. Five types of value orientation are used as to provide the analytical framework, namely Man-to-nature Orientation, Man-to-himself Orientation, Relational Orientation, Time Orientation, and Personal-activity Orientation. The research results reveal that Chinese small firms in Hong Kong exhibit different marketing behaviour from their western counterparts, when compared with UK findings for example. Higher performing Chinese small firms place marketing as the leading or joint leading role in their corporate planning processes and also adopt a longer-term strategic planning approach. They also use more aggressive marketing strategies and put more emphasis on product performance and credit support. However, explicit marketing control devices appear not to be used. The influence of Chinese cultural values on the marketing activities of Chinese small firms in Hong Kong is found to be significant.

Abstract:
Purpose Small firms in China anticipate entrepreneurial opportunities for continual growth. However, they may fail to recognize opportunities because of their inefficiency in managing their knowledge. Design/methodology/approach In this explorative paper, the authors assess the opportunity recognition efficiency of 168 small Chinese firms using data envelopment analysis (DEA). Supplementary Tobit regressions were conducted for further exploring the factors that influence the firms’ efficiency in opportunity recognition. Findings Results from the DEA suggest that most respondents recognize significantly fewer opportunities than those with equivalent knowledge stock. Moreover, many firms have low levels of pure technical efficiency but high levels of scale efficiency, indicating insufficient use of knowledge as a major reason for inefficiency in opportunity recognition. The Tobit regressions show that sales and research and development intensity are relevant to a firm’s opportunity recognition efficiency. Research limitations/implications This study calls for the investigation of efficiency issues in opportunity recognition and suggests that managers guard against unwarranted loss of opportunities owing to inefficient use of existing knowledge elements. Originality/value First, the authors introduce the concept of opportunity recognition efficiency within the entrepreneurial process. Second, they manifest the role of knowledge management in opportunity recognition. Third, they introduce DEA to investigate the relationship between knowledge stock and opportunity recognition. Fourth, this study reveals that inefficient use of knowledge is a disadvantage of small Chinese firms in terms of opportunity recognition.

Abstract:
The venture capital industry in China is quickly evolving and becoming more and more important in the development of small and medium-size companies in China. Venture capital firms usually invest in young private transactions which are usually involved with high risk. In addition, the legal and political environments in China are significantly different from those in the developed markets and at the same time, China is undergoing significant changes of business environments, which brings even more challenges to the VC firms in China’s market. Under these challenges, syndication has become a very popular investment method for the VC companies to diversify their investment risks. In this paper, we explore the various factors that might influence the motivation of VC firm’s syndication decisions in China’s market and especially focus on the impact of the firm’s Chinese ownership. We believe that VC firms’ Chinese ownership has a significant influence on the firm’s decision for syndication investment and our empirical analysis confirms this. We find that Chinese VC firms have a significantly lower likelihood to make syndicated investment than their foreign counterparties. We also explore the interactions between the firms’ Chinese ownership and other influencing factors to investigate their joint impacts on the syndication likelihood. We believe our study will provide a better and thorough understanding about the VC firms’ syndication behavior in China’s market and thus will offer significant values to Chinese policy makers in terms of their efforts to promoting VC development in China.

Abstract:
Purpose This paper aims to test the internationalization–performance relationship based on data of Chinese firms and the impact of firm size on the internationalization–performance relationship. Design/methodology/approach This paper uses overseas subsidiaries as a percentage of total subsidiaries to measure the degree of internationalization. As the overseas subsidiaries and total subsidiaries data of Chinese A-share listed firms are not available in any existing databases, the author hand-collected information on subsidiaries of Chinese A-share listed manufacturing firms from their annual financial reports during 2001-2014. The basic accounting and market information is collected from the China Stock Market and Accounting Research Database. This paper finally gets 535 manufacturing firms. Findings The empirical results suggest that the internationalization–performance relationship is W-shaped in overall samples, but varies with firm size. Specifically, the internationalization–performance relationship is W-shaped in small firms and U-shaped in large firms. Research limitations/implications Future studies based on unlisted Chinese firms or other measurement of internationalization may provide further understanding of the internationalization–performance relationship. Practical implications Policymakers should help small firms prepare a long-term internationalization strategy, giving more support for small firms in the first and third phases of internationalization and helping them to reach the second and fourth phases. Policymakers should also pay more attention to limit the aggressive internationalization behavior of large firms. Originality/value This study provides new evidence for the internationalization–performance relationship by using the unique longitude sample from China and the unique measurement of internationalization. We also highlight the importance of firm characteristics in the examination of internationalization–performance relationship, which provides a potential explanation for previous mixed evidence.

Abstract:
The extant literature on family firms has concentrated on succession planning and typically, on the experiences of western industrialized countries. This has skewed research and impeded our understanding of the dynamics of family firms, particularly their growth, evolution, processes and the exercise of power within the firm. In recent years, as family firms reform their organizational structure and processes, professionals and ‘outsiders’ are now brought into the firm to better ‘manage’ and oversee the firm and its activities. These effects are however not well understood and we do not know how they affect the governing process. Through the development of case studies of Chinese family firms in Malaysia, this paper seeks to map out the critical processes and the actors, including the function of non-executive directors, enabling a better understanding of the dynamics underpinning Chinese family firms and their growth. The paper also argues that the effectiveness of any given board structure is not predetermined but open to processes and mobilizing interests within the firm.

Abstract:
ABSTRACTDrawing on economic, sociological, and strategic perspectives, we use data of a large sample of 936 Chinese manufacturing firms in the period from 2000 to 2005 to examine how environmental labeling may affect a firm's financial performance. We argue that reducing information asymmetry, increasing legitimacy, and differentiating strategically through environmental labeling may prompt customers to patronize the firm, thereby enhancing firm performance. However, not all firms benefit equally; environmental labeling conveys fewer benefits for larger firms and for firms listed in a stock market, because they are less threatened by information asymmetry or insufficient organizational legitimacy. Our findings suggest that environmental labeling has generally limited influence on financial performance, but for small and unlisted firms, environmental labeling increases sales.

Abstract:
Received internationalization theory argues that firms occupy domestic space before going abroad; in other words, large, oligopolistic firms are most likely to internationalize. The experience of China, whose economy is fragmented and whose firms are small by global standards, suggests otherwise. We construct a model of small firm internationalization driven by the relative transaction costs of crossing domestic (in the case of China, provincial) and international borders. When the costs of crossing domestic borders exceed the costs of crossing international borders, firms will internationalize at a relatively early stage of development. In the case of China, local protectionism and inefficient domestic logistics increase the costs of doing business domestically; moreover, protection of property rights in the West and the advantages afforded Chinese owned firms reconstituted as foreign entities operating in China decrease the costs of ‘going out’. We coin the term ‘institutional arbitrage’ to capture Chinese firms' pursuit of efficient institutions outside of China. We argue that strategic exit from the home country rather than strategic entry into foreign markets may explain the internationalization of many Chinese firms.

Abstract:
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine the role that collaborations, both foreign and domestic, play on product innovation, sales mix, and sales revenue for Chinese firms. Both statistical correlations and marginal (economic) effects of collaborations feature in the analysis. Design/methodology/approach – This study includes 2,700 Chinese firms across 15 industry sectors and 25 cities from a World Bank survey conducted in 2012; the data are stratified by firm size. Given the different types of dependent variables to be estimated, several methodologies are employed: logistic regression, Poisson regression, and ordinary least squares. The marginal effects of key variables are then calculated to demonstrate their economic impact. Findings – Regarding the likelihood of product innovation, collaboration with domestic (Chinese) companies is significant for Chinese micro, medium, and large enterprises. Being a foreign subsidiary is significant for the proportion of new products in the sales mix for small, medium, and large firms. Domestic collaboration can boost the sales of innovating small firms and innovating medium companies by nearly 113 and 140 percent, respectively. Originality/value – This study builds on the current literature by examining the impact of foreign vs domestic collaboration on Chinese firms, whereas most research examines foreign players only. It offers a more nuanced analysis by stratifying estimates according to firm size, and it goes beyond statistical significance to quantify the real economic effect of collaborations on Chinese companies.

Abstract:
The knowledge and innovation generated by researchers at universities is transferred to industries through patent licensing, leading to the commercialization of academic output. In order to investigate the development of Chinese university–industry technology transfer and whether this kind of collaboration may affect a firm’s innovation output, we collected approximately 6400 license contracts made between more than 4000 Chinese firms and 300 Chinese universities for the period between 2009 and 2014. This is the first study on Chinese university–industry knowledge transfer using a bipartite social network analysis (SNA) method, which emphasizes centrality estimates. We are able to investigate empirically how patent license transfer behavior may affect each firm’s innovative output by allocating a centrality score to each firm in the university–firm technology transfer network. We elucidate the academic–industry knowledge by visualizing flow patterns for different regions with the SNA tool, Gephi. We find that innovation capabilities, R&D resources, and technology transfer performance all vary across China, and that patent licensing networks present clear small-world phenomena. We also highlight the Bipartite Graph Reinforcement Model (BGRM) and BiRank centrality in the bipartite network. Our empirical results reveal that firms with high BGRM and BiRank centrality scores, long history, and fewer employees have greater innovative output.

Abstract:
In the context of the prevalence of foreign trade protectionism, further promoting the process of urbanization help expand domestic demand and improve Chinese firms’ export competitiveness. This paper studies the effect of the city scale expansion on Chinese firms’ participation in exports. The results found that first, the city scale expansion will significantly promote the firm export participation; second, for different scale cities, the impact of different city size on the export participation of firms is different; third, considering the intermediary effect model, the industrial specialization level of (extra) large cities and small cities, the industrial diversification level in megacities and (extra) large cities and the industrial competitiveness of small cities have a partial intermediary effect on the expansion of urban scale and promotes the participation of firms in exports. In addition, industrial competitiveness and industrial diversification in megacities and small cities respectively have a masking effect on the expansion of urban scale and promote the participation of firms in exports.

Abstract:
The Chinese term “Guanxi” literally refers to interpersonal relationships which have aroused growing interests among researchers and business practitioners. Common research interests are mainly centered on theoretical study and model building instead of applying them to business practices while this paper is aimed to investigate how business Guanxi works from a practical view, and in particular how business Guanxi affects the performance of small and medium-sized Chinese construction companies. Three independent managers in different regions are chosen as the initiating point to explore how Guanxi works by tracing back their inter-connectivity as well as interactions among different stakeholders. The empirical findings indicate business Guanxi acts as an important source of information and the efficient way to seek financial and technical support, to increase market shares and reduce risks, has a positive effect on to the performance of small and medium-sized Chinese construction firms. Based on the empirical findings, it is further argued that a good business Guanxi is likely to create competitive advantages in supporting Tsang’s arguments. Finally a managerial implication is provided which tries to remind practitioners that business Guanxi is a necessary factor for the survival of Chinese construction enterprises but it is not sufficient. Managers should not solely rely on Guanxi even if two parties have high quality of connections, and the institutional tools are needed in order to secure the health of Guanxi.

Abstract:
In contributing to the literature at the IE/Marketing interface, the aim of this research is to understand how Chinese small firms internationalise. The four key issues emerged and discussed are: (1) market orientation; (2) knowledge and entrepreneurial learning; (3) social capital; and (4) innovation. This was examined by employing a longitudinal qualitative case study using the grounded theory approach. This thesis is empirically-based, and is characterised by three key features: a) it uses a process approach; b) it focuses on its contribution to the growing body of the IE literature by exploring a unique case phenomenon; and c) it provides a ‘micro-level’ perspective: the key issues were examined as they evolve in the process of firms’ internationalisation. The methodology is grounded in a social constructionist approach in which narrative accounts are used to develop understanding of the processes of entrepreneurial internationalisation, over a period of six years. Data were gathered primarily through in-depth interviews and observations on-site. A number of important results emerged from this study. Key findings are: (1) whilst individual’s knowledge plays a vital role in decisions made to expand internationally, the competence to learn and absorb capacity at the firm level overall played a significant role in the growth stage and in sustaining the overall competitive advantages and performances. (2) Social capital plays a crucial role in small firms’ internationalisation however, its various dimensions plays a dissimilar role in the process. (3) MO and innovation appears to be factors, embedding within, and interacting with, other factors, acting as both antecedent and outcome of international expansions. Moreover, the close coupling of these four key issues and their interaction with various factors has been advanced to explain the forward momentum of firms’ internationalisation. Finally, an integrated conceptual framework was developed which offers a holistic view in IE and in China for future theory testing.

Abstract:

Small and medium enterprises play an important role in the development of a country.

The growth of SMEs is also important for the world economy which has been widely

discussed in recent years. Although the growth of small firm is a well known topic in

theoretical research, still there are some research gaps that need to be filled. There is

no single multidimensional theory which would embrace all possible approaches;

most studies on SMEs’ growth examine the growth factors one by one. (Wasilczuk,

2000) Nor is there any single theory that can adequately explain small business

growth due to the heterogeneity of SMEs. Moreover, growth itself is difficult to

measure, and can be measured either objectively or subjectively. (Delmar, 1996)

Therefore, this study incorporates the resource-based view, as well as the

consideration of SMEs’ fives stages model to examine the growth factor of SMEs.

The resource-based view provides a unified approach in the conceptualization of the

resource analysis in the small firm. The five stages model shows the position of SMEs

current growth stage. By analyzing SMEs’ key resources (tangible and intangible

resources), indentifying their growth stages, SMEs can find out the critical resources

which influence their business growth.

As a conclusion, the study finds that each resource has its importance in different

stages. Tangible resources, such as cash and physical resources are critical in the

start-up firms, while intangible resources are prioritized in the success and resource

maturity stages. In order to gain the competitive advantages, SMEs should fully

develop the unique and inimitable resources such as the brand, technology, culture

and reputations.

Professional Doctorate - Doctor of Business Adminstration (DBA)
Due to competition from low cost manufacturers from other developing countries, manufacturing companies in Southern China are facing strong pressures to upgrade their business models from a traditional OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturing) model to an ODM (Original Design Manufacturing) or OBM (Original Brand Manufacturing) business model. This calls for a transition from a labour-intensive into a knowledge-intensive organization. One way of achieving this transition is through the formation of a Learning Organization. This research investigates the factors that influence the transfer of the Learning Organization concept, adopted from Western countries, into manufacturing companies in Southern China. Specifically, this research examines how Traditional Chinese culture and International Influence affect the adoption of the Learning Organization concept by manufacturing companies in Southern China. Through a critical review of the literature, six hypotheses and an associated research model are derived. This model links the four variables in our study: Traditional Chinese culture, International Influence, Learning Organization culture, and Organizational performance. A questionnaire with forty-one questions that measure the four key variables was mailed to electronics manufacturing companies in the Shenzhen and Dongguan area of Southern China. Seventy-two valid responses were received. The data collected was then analysed using statistical techniques including correlation, multiple linear regression and partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM). The results showed that International Influence does not impact Traditional Chinese culture or Learning Organization culture, but it positively impacts Organizational Performance. Traditional Chinese culture positively impacts Learning Organization culture but negatively impacts Organizational Performance. Learning Organization culture enhances Organizational Performance and is a mediating variable between Traditional Chinese culture and Organizational Performance. The empirical data and analysis results from this study contribute to the knowledge and understanding of Learning Organizations in a Chinese context. Furthermore, the findings from this study allow companies in Southern China to gain a better understanding of the influence of Traditional Chinese culture and International Influence on the building of a Learning Organization. With this knowledge, they can better manage their transition into a Learning Organization and thus improve their overall competitiveness.

Abstract:
In China, small and micro businesses account for 94.15% of the main market players and contribute significantly to social employment opportunities. However, small and micro businesses are facing pressures of intense market competition. Considering that a good brand image may be a key to enhance the competitiveness of these companies this research analyses the influence of brand driving force in the internal level of management of Chinese small and micro firms. In light of the Report of Development of Small and Micro Enterprises in China, we conducted a survey to small and micro businesses in the laser industry and electromechanical retail industry. With the statistical software IBM SPSS 19.0 and AMOS, we tested the scale “brand driving force”. Based on the analysis of reliability, construct validity, discriminate validity and convergent validity, we confirmed that the theoretical model of enterprise brand driving force is applicable, reasonable and effective. As a result, we concluded that the brand is a driving force for the enterprise management improvement. The empirical research, combining qualitative with quantitative analysis, led to the following main findings: 1) The brand-oriented development of small and micro businesses is determined by brand naming, brand positioning and brand equity, which are the core dimension of brand metaphorical force, brand stabilizing force and brand capital force, respectively. 2) The development of a model to test the brand driving force of small and micro enterprises has been put forward. It consists of three dimensions—metaphorical force, stabilizing force and capital force of brand. A comprehensive and systematic explanation of the source of brand driving force has been given and checked by formal data. 3) It confirms that the “brand driving force” is the core motive power for enterprise management level promotion”. Based on the data analysis of the small and micro enterprises in industry and retail sector, empirical tests have been conducted on measuring scale, mechanism model and evaluation model. If applied, the evaluation model of brand driving force can reflect the degree of the driving force in the form of score, thus pointing out the direction for small and micro enterprises management level promotion.
Na China, as Micro e pequenas empresas ocupam 94.15% dos principais agentes do mercado, contribuindo significativamente para a oferta de emprego na sociedade chinesa. No entanto, estas empresas enfrentam uma forte intensidade competitiva. Considerando que uma boa imagem de marca constitui um fator de competitividade nestas empresas, a presente pesquisa analisa a influência da força da marca empresarial no nível da gestão interna nas Micro e pequenas empresas Chinesas. Segundo o relatório sobre o desenvolvimento atual das Micro e pequenas empresas da China, aplicou-se um questionário a uma amostra de empresas das indústrias de laser e de retalho de produtos de eletromecânica. Com o software estatístico IBM SPSS 19.0 e AMOS, testou-se a escala “força da marca empresarial”. Com base na análise da confiabilidade, validade do constructo validade discriminante e validade convergente, confirmou-se o modelo teórico da influência da força da marca empresarial. Em resultado, conclui-se que que a imagem de marca constitui uma força que permite melhorar o nível da gestão da empresa. A presente pesquisa combina análises qualitativas e quantitativa, conduzindo-se aos seguintes resultados: (1) Demonstrou que o desenvolvimento de uma orientação para a marca nas micro e pequenas empresas é determinado pelo nome da marca, posicionamento da marca e capital da marca; estes constituem o núcleo da força motora da imagem (metáfora) da marca, da estabilidade e da do capital da marca. (2) Criou um modelo que teste a força da marca de micro e pequenas empresas. Este consiste em três dimensões a força metafórica ou da imagem da marca, a força de estabilização da marca e a força do capital da marca. (3) Confirmou que a força da marca empresarial é o núcleo que melhora o nível da gestão dentro a empresa.

Abstract:
This empirical-exploratory article sheds light on the change management approaches used by Chinese owner-managers of small firms in Singapore and their openness toward strategic learning. The paper examines widespread common-sense assumptions that ethnic Chinese adopt mostly directive-coercive (autocratic) change management approaches, which may stifle innovation. Great diversity exists amongst small firm owners in Asia with regard to their change leadership practices, and respective change implementation approaches are contingent on both demographic variables and situational forces like the urgency of change, the degree of resistance to change, and/or the dynamics of the environment in which the firms operate. Data from a SME survey in Singapore (n = 101) serves to substantiate several propositions about change management of Chinese owner-managers of SMEs in Singapore. Three hypotheses about the openness of SME owner-managers to outside sources of learning are presented to ascertain the prediction that such knowledge can give SMEs a performance headstart by helping them to work smarter.

Abstract:
This study seeks to explore the strategic alternatives for the many small and medium-sized manufacturing firms in China that play an OEM role in the global value chain. Declining margins due to rising production costs and intense competition from emerging manufacturing industries in Southeast Asia necessitates the transformation of China's traditional manufacturing industry. The result is opportunities for the creation and manufacturing of domestic brands. A multiple-case study methodology is used with primary data collection through in-depth interviews, supported by secondary data on the subject firms. The findings reveal an awareness of the opportunities afforded by the trend towards the development of domestic brands as well as the vision, strategy, tactics, and forecasting related to a transition to brand creation. This chapter could be of interest to those with an interest in manufacturing transition, brand development, and providing direction to OEM SMEs in China that seek to develop a strategic roadmap during the imminent industrial evolution and transformation.

Abstract:
The purpose of this chapter is to identify the key factors that explain the decision of Chinese small and medium sized enterprises' (CSMEs) investment into the North East of England. The authors conducted 23 semi-structured interviews with key decision makers of Chinese SMEs that have business operations in the North East of England. It has been found that there are four major categories of factors that drive Chinese SMEs' investment into the North East of England: 1) resource-based factors; 2) home and host institutional factors; 3) network factors; and 4) international entrepreneurial factors. The findings have policy implications for both the governments of the UK and China, as well as managerial implications for future Chinese investors. This chapter provides fresh explanation of Chinese SMEs' investment into a developed economy.

Abstract:
To be successful exporters, SMEs have to penetrate foreign markets rapidly, at low cost, maintaining control of core technologies and products, while adapting product features to local customer requirements and preferences. Entrepreneurs have to find and evaluate potential partners, overcoming differences in business cultures and their ignorance of foreign accounting rules. Internationalization has deep and relevant implications in effective human resources management. In fact, the expansion of the firms allows the creation of new job opportunities both in the home country and abroad. This process could be seen as a solution, or better as mitigation, for the current problem of unemployment that our society has to face in this period of crisis. SMEs need to be supported in their expansion abroad. In Italy, public and private agencies provide services to achieve this. The aim of this chapter is to analyze how they operate, what services they provide, and how much they support enterprises. As a case study, the authors examine services provided by Chinese agencies because China is one of the most active countries in international markets. Italian and Chinese agencies are compared focusing on the existing standard services provided and their customization according to specific domain needs. Finally, the authors present a global view of today’s scenario to define future directions of current internationalized services.

Abstract:
By exploiting spatial variation in import exposure arising from initial differences in industry specialization, we analyze how local labor markets in Mexico adjusted to increased Chinese-import competition over different time horizons. The initial adjustment to the shock took various forms: a decline in the number of wage employees, a substitution of wage employees with piece-rate or outsourced workers, and a substitution of formal employees with informal employees. The negative effects on employment were mainly associated with job destruction from exiting firms, particularly those that were small and medium-sized. During periods in which employment fell, the population that actively participated in the labor force fell. The negative short- and medium-run effects mostly disappeared after 20 years.
