近年来，随着中国经济的快速发展，许多中国企业特别是高科技企业已经开始在技术上领先于国际市场。本研究旨在从网络视角揭示中国企业赶超的根本原因。本文以华为技术有限公司为例，将吸收能力发展和企业层面的追赶整合到一个基于联盟的网络框架中。研究发现，在不同的追赶阶段，企业与大学的网络联盟是互补的，基于联盟的网络为中国企业缩短追赶路径提供了跳板，在中国背景下，只有在建立伙伴关系的情况下，FDI对企业绩效的影响才能发挥作用;与领先企业建立伙伴关系可以在后期刺激研发投资，同时提高企业的创新绩效。
With China's rapid economic growth in recent years, many Chinese firms especially in high-tech industries have started to technically lead in the international market. In this study, we aim to uncover the root causes that lead to Chinese firms' catching up from network perspective. By taking Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd. as a case, we integrate absorptive capacity development and firm-level catching up into an alliances-based network framework. We found that network alliances with firms and universities complement each other at different catching up stages; and alliances-based network provides a springboard for Chinese firms to shorten catching up path. We argue that in Chinese context, impact of FDI on firms' performance comes into effect only if partnership is carried out; alliances with universities facilitate development of absorptive capacity at an early stage; Partnering with leading players stimulate R&D investment at a late stage and simultaneously enhance firm's innovation performance as well.
