Abstract

Abstract In alliance studies, opportunism is generally considered a critical obstacle to interfirm cooperation, as it hampers interfirm confidence, impedes alliance evolution, and increases the probability of alliance failure. This study extends the prior opportunism studies by hypothesizing that actor opportunism in Chinese business will be largely affected by two sets of interfirm relationships: partners’ asymmetric dependence and guanxi governance. Data from 109 alliances undertaken by Taiwanese information and electronic firms supported the research hypotheses.
中国企业间联盟中的机会主义:非对称依赖与关系治理效应
在联盟研究中,机会主义通常被认为是企业间合作的重要障碍,因为它阻碍了企业间的信任,阻碍了联盟的发展,增加了联盟失败的可能性。本文在前人机会主义研究的基础上,提出了中国企业行动者机会主义在很大程度上受合作伙伴不对称依赖和关系治理两组企业间关系影响的假设。来自109个台湾资讯电子企业联盟的数据支持了研究假设。
