National Differences and the Survival of Foreign Invested Enterprises in China

This research paper applies the Resource Based View (RBV) and the COX Proportional Hazards Model (COX HP) to investigate how differences in national factors between home countries and China impact the survivability of new Foreign Invested Enterprises (FIEs) in China. By identifying and examining key factors such as international experience, total R&D expenditure, direct investment flow abroad, access to foreign high-skilled people, and corporate adaptability and flexibility, this research seeks to analyze the survival ratio of a large sample of new foreign invested enterprises in China. The results of this project may help investors predict the risk of investing in emerging markets.
