Abstract

This study explores the barrier factors of Chinese private-owned enterprises in overseas expansion in terms of corruption, political risk, market fluctuation, cultural difference, and firms resource endowments. To explore the existing practical backgrounds, it was investigated to private-owned enterprises dealing with foreign export companies where run business in Hohhot, Baotou and Ordos, Inner Mongolia, China. The result shows that the corruption and political risks of host countries do not have significant influence on business performance in 'Go global' strategy, while the market fluctuation of host countries has a negative effect on business performance. Cultural difference has a negative effect on business performance, and enterprises' resource endowments have a positive effect on business performance in 'Go global' strategy. Additionally, interviewees provide several substantial suggestions regarding the government policy and industry ecosystem to surmount the barriers of POEs' going global. Lastly, the authors discuss managerial implications and provide several suggestions for the future studies.

본 연구는 중국 캐시미어 민영기업의 해외진출에 관한 장벽요인을 부패, 정치적 리스크, 시장의 변동성, 문화적 차이, 그리고 기업의 자원부존도 측면에서 탐색하는 것이다. 현존하는 실무적 배경을 조사하기 위하여 내몽고에 위치하고 있는 후허하오터(呼和浩特), 바오터우(包頭), 오르도스(鄂爾多斯)에서 캐시미어 해외수출입 업무를 담당하고 있는 민영기업을 대상으로 조사를 실시하였다. 해외 현지국의 부패 및 정치적 리스크는 중국의 해외진출전략에 유의미한 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났으며 해외 현지국의 시장변동성은 기업의 성과에 부정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 문화적인 차이는 비즈니스 성과에 부정적인 영향을 미치고 민영기업의 자원부존은 해외진출전략의 비즈니스 성과에 긍정적인 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 마지막으로 본 연구의 토론에서 중국 민영기업의 해외진출전략의 장애를 극복하기 위한 중국 정부정책 및 산업생태계에 대한 실무적 시사점을 기술하였다.
