Learning, firm age and performance: An investigation of returnee entrepreneurs in Chinese high-tech industries
基于独特调查数据,研究海归创业者的经验学习和替代学习对企业绩效的影响,发现学习能提升绩效,但企业年龄会削弱这种效果。
Using unique survey data, this study investigates the impact of the learning of returnee entrepreneurs on firm performance. The findings indicate that returnee entrepreneur experiential and vicarious learning boosts firm performance. However, firm age significantly weakens the impact of learning on firm performance. The results extend the existing literature by explicitly examining the impact of the interrelationship between two forms of learning and firm age.
