Returnees Versus Locals: Who Perform Better in C hina's Technology Entrepreneurship?
研究比较了海归与本土创业者领导的新创企业绩效差异，发现海归虽有教育和海外经验优势，但缺乏本地人脉和知识，其绩效取决于能否克服这些劣势。
We examine performance differences between new ventures led by returnees and those led by their local counterparts in C hina. We argue that while, compared with locals, returnees have the advantages of higher education and overseas experience, they also have disadvantages in their home country in terms of lack of both local connections and local knowledge. Since returnees' effect on venture performance is the net effect of their advantages and disadvantages, contextual factors that can help them overcome their disadvantages should improve their ventures' performance. With a sample of new technology ventures in C hina, we find strong support for this argument. Copyright © 2012 Strategic Management Society.
