英文摘要 |
Firm growth concerns the ways in which top management constantly makes strategic choices, which, in turn, develop into an evolving process of strategic change. Drawing on perspectives from evolutionary theory, resource-based approach, dynamic capabilities, transaction cost economics and social networks, the paper discusses three strategic choices for corporate growth: generic expansion, acquisition, and network. Based on the process-oriented paradigm, we employ a case-oriented comparative method for examining how the proposed model can be applied to analyze strategic choices and change of three Taiwanese computer firms - Acer, Mitac and FIe. Theoretical, empirical and managerial implications are drawn from this study. |
