In recent years, the digital revolution has significantly reshaped the open search environment and the business model landscape. The traditional ‘either/or’ paradigm that separately tests the effects of open search breadth and depth on business model design is no longer applicable. By introducing the ‘both/and’ paradigm, this study explores how open search breadth and depth, both jointly and in an orderly manner, impact hybrid business model design. Using a sample of digital startups during the opportunity window of China’s digital entrepreneurship, we find that open search breadth positively relates to the balance between technology- and consumer-oriented business models. Furthermore, under the premise of high breadth, open search depth shows a U-shaped relationship with this balance. This study not only enriches our knowledge of the antecedents of business model design but also provides a comprehensive understanding of the role of open search.","PeriodicalId":47156,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pacific Business Review","volume":"11 1","pages":"852 - 875"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2023-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86747090","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a new force in the market economy, the issue of whether AI is related to the higher performance of new ventures in emerging economies still requires empirical evidence. Using content analysis and taking the 2010–2019 A-share listed new ventures as panel data, this paper tests the relationship and boundary conditions of AI orientation (AIO) on the performance of new ventures from the perspective of absorptive capacity. We find that AIO is positively related to new venture performance, where firm growth and the level of regional economic development have a significant positive moderating effect.

The successful listing of Alibaba, the world’s largest online and mobile commerce enterprise, has attracted a lot of attention to investment strategy; in particular, the dual-class share structure of Internet enterprises designed to protect the control rights of company founders and the promotion of enterprise IPO have become a focus for international scholars. Based on the IPO case of Alibaba Group, this paper studies the dual share system of Alibaba with regards to three aspects: theoretical analysis, case analysis and financial index analysis. First, it introduces the literature relevant to the dual share system. It then takes Alibaba as a case study in order to analyse the reasons for the success of its IPO, and studies the impact of the dual share system on this IPO. Finally, it analyzes the effect and influence of the dual share system on IPO with regards to four dimensions of financial performance. Through the discussion in this paper, we hope to provide better ideas and suggestions for companies planning an external IPO.","PeriodicalId":47156,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pacific Business Review","volume":"31 1","pages":"350 - 371"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2023-02-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77204124","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, both companies have underperformed Amazon during the last 12 months. This special issue explores the underlying drivers for their tumultuous performance outcomes, including governance, political risks and internationalization strategies. This introduction paper sets the scene by studying the market perspective based on analyst reports, financial statements and stock market data. To understand growth expectations, we decompose current share prices into their present value, explained by current earnings and future value, driven by future growth and profitability. Exogenous factors such as the recent increase in interest rates, woes of governance problems associated with foreign corporations in South Korea and China’s anti-monopoly drive aimed at its tech giants have contributed to weaker performance. Our analysis of implied growth rates suggests that the market expects annual revenue growth above 11% for the foreseeable future. These expectations will be hard to meet, requiring a rethink of business models and processes.","PeriodicalId":47156,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pacific Business Review","volume":"10 1","pages":"267 - 278"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2023-02-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87205848","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
