目的 作为对 Deng (2012) 之前一篇涵盖 1991-2010 年期间的中国企业国际化 (ICF) 综述文章的补充,本文的目的是探讨近年来该主题的研究如何在主题上扩展,系统地调查 2011 年至 2017 年 6 月期间有关 ICF 的文献,并强调研究进展。此外,它为未来的研究提供了动力,并为整个 ICF 领域的整体未来发展概述了潜在的途径。设计/方法/途径 基于系统的文献回顾,本文根据 Deng(2012)提供的 ICF 研究的组织框架对所回顾的调查进行分类。结果 结果表明,在调查期间,ICF 的研究变得更加广泛和成熟。首先,研究中国企业职能管理流程的文章增多。因此,关于中国企业海外子公司的作用、控制和组织及其东道国制度整合的新知识出现了。其次,对 ICF 影响的了解有所增加。认为中国经济体系未来的趋同或分化决定了ICF研究未来的整体发展。原创性/价值这是新兴ICF领域的第一篇综述论文,有意识地延续了之前综述文章的工作,从而能够追踪ICF研究的主题扩展。
Purpose Supplementing a previous review article on the internationalization of Chinese firms (ICF) by Deng (2012) that covers the period 1991–2010, the purpose of this paper is to examine how research on this subject has thematically expanded in recent years, systematically investigating the literature concerning the ICF between 2011 and June 2017 and highlighting the research advancements. Furthermore, it provides impulses for future research and outlines potential avenues for the overall future development of the entire ICF field. Design/methodology/approach Based on a systematic literature review, this paper categorizes the surveys reviewed according to the organizational framework of the research on the ICF provided by Deng (2012). Findings The results indicate that the research on the ICF has become more widespread and mature during the time period investigated. First, there are more articles examining functional management processes of Chinese firms. Consequently, new knowledge exists regarding the role, control and organization of foreign subsidiaries of Chinese enterprises and their host country institutional integration. Second, the state of knowledge regarding the implications of the ICF has increased. It is argued that the future convergence or divergence of the Chinese economic system determines the overall future development of research on the ICF. Originality/value This is the first review paper in the emerging ICF field that consciously continues the work of a previous review article, enabling the tracing of the thematic expansion of research on the ICF.
