The Impact of Home Country Institutions on Corporate Technological Entrepreneurship via R&D Investments and Virtual World Presence
研究了母国商业体系的四个维度如何影响跨国公司的技术创业，发现国家层面的因素对技术创业有显著解释力，且不同维度影响不同类型的创业活动。
In this study, we seek to understand how four dimensions of national business systems surrounding the corporate headquarters of multinational firms influence corporate technological entrepreneurship (CTE). After controlling for fairly well–established antecedents of corporate technological entrepreneurship at the firm and industry levels, we find that national–level predictors explain considerable variance above and beyond our control variables. Furthermore, we find that various national–level dimensions influence different measures of CTE. Overall, our study points to the remarkably strong role of home institutional context for understanding two types of technological entrepreneurship pursued by relatively large, multinational firms based in 24 different economies.
