Social Network View on Corporate Entrepreneurship: An Empirical Study on Taiwanese Subsidiaries
This research extended corporate entrepreneurship into international activities and conducted an empirical study on multinational enterprises subsidiaries with relational embeddedness of social network perspective. Through the literature review and case study, a research framework and a set of hypotheses were generated, which described the relationships between relational embeddedness and subsidiarys entrepreneurial orientation. With collected data and statistical tools used, we verified the hypotheses. This research finds that (1) there exists the inverse U shape relationship between the customer relational embeddedness and the subsidiarys entrepreneurship, (2) there exists the inverse U shape relationship between the supplier relational embeddedness and the subsidiarys entrepreneurship, and (3) there exists the positive association between the corporate relational embeddedness and the subsidiarys entrepreneurship. It was further derived that insufficient or over embeddedness with customers or suppliers will negatively influence the subsidiarys entrepreneurial behavior.
